Youth Venture is excited to announce the first-ever national Youth Venture Summit. The Summit will be an exciting and enlightening leadership experience, gathering young changemakers from throughout the nation for three days of skill-building, peer exchange, and fun!

The conference will bring together youth from around the country, including current Venturers, former Venturers, and youth interested in starting a venture.

The Summit will focus on growing and strengthening the movement of young changemakers. Attendees will participate in skill-building and Venture-strengthening workshops, engage in meaningful dialogue to share experiences and perspectives, and network with each other, to identify common areas of interest and ways to collaborate.
