The Youth Leadership Summit will take place July 13-16, 2025, as part of the NCCEP/GEAR UP Annual Conference in San Francisco, CA.
The Youth Leadership Summit provides a high-quality, national-level interactive training experience and peer-to-peer learning opportunity focused on life, leadership, and learning-to-learn skills for ninth through twelfth grade high school students who are currently participating in GEAR UP programs.
Many alumni say the experience is life-changing and they walked away with more confidence to speak publicly, lead locally, and engage in their GEAR UP program. The program is fun and impactful, and students enjoy engagement with other students and GEAR UP staff.
If you are bringing students, review the 2025 Youth Leadership Summit Planning Guide to gain detailed information about every step.
