March 14-17, 2013
Kansas City, Missouri
The annual
Summit provides opportunities for youth to
explore careers, technology, environment and cultural diversity in a
global society. Hands-on and interactive sessions involve youth in
exploring issues central to their lives, families and communities – thus
broadening their understanding of the world around them.
The Summit features tours to Kansas City area businesses and
organizations, workshops showcasing a variety of careers, and cultural events. Dances, group events
and other programs provide opportunities for youth to meet youth
delegates from Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
Youth
Youth must be 15 years of age or older by January 1 to participate
and only those attending the conference for the first or second time are
eligible to register.
Adult chaperone requirements
A ratio of one adult chaperone to ten delegates is required and a
