New in 2011:

• Workshop Tracks - Workshops have been grouped together to allow participants to focus in a specific area - High School/College Youth Organizing Tract, Advocacy Tract, Educator Tract, Trans Tract, Power and Privilege Tract

• Open Mic Night - It will be the Youth Summit's version of a talent show!  During dinner, participants will be invited to share their music, dance, spoken word, poetry, art, performances or any other skills you have.  You can perform as an individual or with a group.  Throughout the afternoon, performing artists - be they drag kings and queens, spoken word, art teachers - will be available to support participants on their acts.

• Art Resource Room - Some people love to sit in workshops all day long soaking up the information.  Others need an occasional break, so we are offering a resource room where youth can stop in during a session and make art, reflect or prepare for the Open Mic Talent Show. 

Plus great workshops, great friends and great resources will all be back.  See you at the Youth Summit!
