2026 Healthy Youth Summit

The 2026 Healthy Youth Summit brings together high school students from across Massachusetts to connect, build skills, and take action on creating healthier relationships in their schools and communities.

This Summit is designed as an interactive, youth-centered space where you can learn from one another, share experiences, and walk away with practical tools you can use in your everyday life.

At the Summit, you will:

• Build Healthy Relationships: Learn how to navigate friendships, dating, and peer dynamics using skills like communication, consent, boundaries, and conflict resolution.
• Strengthen Your Leadership Skills: Explore how you can show up as a leader in your school—supporting peers, speaking up, and modeling respect in your relationships.
• Take Action in Your School or Community: Start developing ideas for projects, conversations, or activities you can bring back to your school to promote healthy relationships.
• Connect with Other Youth Across the State: Meet students from different schools, share ideas, and build a network of young people working toward the same goals.
