The Youth Summit: Our Voice, Our Future is a two-day event by youth, for youth! The goal is to bring youth from across the state to unite around shared values, build community, strengthen confidence and connections, and expand their collective power. The summit will focus on leadership development, creating youth-driven recommendations for change, and the mental and physical well-being of youth.
At Oregon State University's Memorial Union on April 18 and 19th, 2026, the Summit will host sessions and panels covering topics ranging from youth engagement and empowerment, policy and sustainability, and partnerships. By creating a space to learn and share ideas, action will be taken on the issues that matter most to youth.
