The purpose of the Summit is to engage teens to help solve local and regional social, economic, and environmental problems. The Summit seeks to foster the research, creative, and social skills of high school students by allowing them to work collaboratively with leaders in business, government, and non-profit sectors. The Summit brings together talented students of diverse backgrounds from dozens of school districts across Long Island; the opportunity to work together in collaborative, solution-oriented teams can be priceless.
Students are invited to attend, and awards are given based on original research submitted to panels of judges composed of academic, business, and healthcare experts. Over three hundred students (4 from SHA) applied to attend the 2023 Youth Summit; 100 were invited, including all 4 Sacred Heart Academy girls.(Unfortunately, one of our invitees was unavailable.)
