Calling all Raleigh teens looking to make an impact and shape their future—registration is now open for the 2024 Raleigh Youth Summit, slated for Saturday, Nov. 2 at Marsh Creek Community Center. Teens aged 13 to 18 are encouraged to take part in this dynamic all-day event, which aims to empower youth through active engagement and facilitate connections with leaders and their community.
The Summit, a youth-centric collaboration between the City of Raleigh and local community partners, is gearing up to inspire and educate attendees in a range of subjects crucial for tomorrow's leaders. In a statement obtained on the RaleighNC website, organizers tout their mission to connect "their present with our shared future" and have themed this year's gathering as "Pathways to Possibility #WeHearYOUth." However, to fully capture the essence of this event, teens must register soon to secure their spot.
Among the distinguished guest speakers lined up for the summit are Raleigh Police Chief Estella D. Patterson and District Judge Ashleigh Parker, as well as the popular social media influencer HeyTonyTV. Bringing their diverse experiences and insights, these speakers will engage with the youth on various issues that are relevant and pressing to the younger generation.
Highlighting the event is keynote speaker Sahjir Rivera, set to bring a potent mix of inspiration and challenge to the young attendees. By providing them with direct access to influential figures, organizers hope to not only offer mentorship opportunities but also to actively listen to their ideas and perspectives — signaling a commitment to seriously consider the voices of the emerging generation.
