The State of Chicago Youth is a youth-led event for community leaders, partners and supporters to hear directly from young people at this critical moment. Youth leaders will present their research in the areas of education, juvenile justice, community safety, and community action and engage with attendees about their insights and perspectives. Through intensive leadership training, community research, targeted community action, and exploration of their own lived experiences, Mikva youth leaders are developing initial policy considerations and taking active steps in their local communities to improve the quality of life of all youth in the city of Chicago and greater Cook County.
Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and provide resources to help push the youth’s community action projects and policy recommendations forward during the upcoming school year.
