Calling all youth in grades 7-12!
This year’s CHA Youth Summit is virtual and will include four days of youth-led workshops on issues you care about, such as mental health, safety, an open mic talent show, and a job fair featuring organizations offering resources and summer employment opportunities for youth.
Youth who attend at least three events that week will receive $40 in e-gift cards (to DoorDash and Amazon) and be entered into a drawing for an iPad mini!
