THE NYS
SHAPING AND EMPOWERING YOUNG LEADERS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW
The National Youth Summit on Education, Justice, and Leadership offers an extraordinary opportunity for talented high school student leaders from across the United States to work with leading educators, civil rights icons and other national experts to examine the school to prison pipeline, create models of discipline based on inherent strengths, develop innovative economic strategies not dependent upon mass incarceration, and strive for academic excellence.
confronting challenges of 21ST century youth
Our youth are brilliant, talented, and ready to change the world. The National Youth Summit on Education, Justice, and Leadership – A World Youth Conference is designed to help them do exactly that. The 2021 Summit will move forward to once again bring together talented high school student leaders from cities across the globe to work with civil rights legends, leading educators, international academics, judges, law enforcement, and economists to examine the school to prison pipeline, environment and immigration issues and explore constructive innovative tools for creating a more just, safe, and equitable world. While the experience has been converted to online sessions, students will be challenged to pursue academic excellence, highly engaged educators, and exceptional expectations for themselves and those that serve them. At a time when democracy is being challenged, we look forward to engaging students to raise the bar and protect the rights and privileges of all.
Why The NYS?
We believe in our youth. We believe in their talent, their intellectual capacity, their passion, and energy to lead. With our democracy at risk and education suffering from increased lack of funding and students impacted by poverty, mental illness, immigration, the environment, and mass incarceration.
