Empower The Youth Of Our Community
The Canvas Institute/ Island Voice Youth Empowerment Summit, is now in its 17th year! We welcome elementary, middle school, and high school students from all across New York City and the World for youth-led panels, workshops, guest facilitators, and “Compassionate Systems” Master Practitioners.
Students are empowered with information on entrepreneurship, government, higher education, and career readiness. We utilize a Collective Impact approach to collaborate. The Youth Summit program has provided support, resources, and mentorship connection to over 10,000 youths since the program launched. The program brings our youth together to amplify their voice and awaken the power that they have to change their community and the world.
