This week, we hosted the New Hampshire Youth Voice Summit. Around 70 passionate students from grades 7-12 are coming together at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics to dive deep into the issues they care about. After selecting topics and completing guided prep work, these young leaders will research, discuss, and present their ideas directly to elected representatives, government officials, and community decision-makers.

Our democracy grows stronger when young voices are heard, and we’re proud to provide opportunities for them to practice and shape the future of our communities. Let’s listen, learn, and support the next generation of changemakers.
