UCAN strives to build strong youth and families through compassionate healing, education and empowerment. The 2017 Youth Peace Summit will host a diverse group of youth leaders and adults from around Chicagoland will gather to participate in youth-led workshops that focus on several important issues of the day that impact and involve our youth virtually no matter where they live or attend school. That day, we will focus on:

· Developing youth leadership skills
· Implementing violence prevention strategies
· Improving race gender, and cultural relationships
· Putting our faith into action
· Pursuing and choosing peace in our lives
· Developing healthy relationships
· Engaging adults as allies

The event is CLOSED to the public.
