Deep Center to Co-Host Youth: Voice, Story, and Power Summit

Deep joins the Southern Economic Advancement Project and the Roosevelt Network to connect youth across the Southern Black Belt

Deep Center, the Southern Economic Advancement Project (SEAP) and the Roosevelt Network will co-host the Youth: Voice, Story, and Power Summit, which will connect youth across the Southern Black Belt with one another to learn about policy and legislative change. Students and young people will participate in a half-day event that will focus on knowledge and resource building that will fuel them to use their personal experiences as a vehicle to engage in policy and advocacy work.

The Youth Voice, Story, and Power Summit will provide young people ages 13–19 with an interactive experience that will equip them with the necessary tools to use the power of storytelling and advocacy to influence systems change. The summit is open to students and young people in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Louisiana. There will also be a featured conversation with Stacey Abrams, founder of SEAP.

“Deep as an organization has been about amplifying youth voices” said Action Research Team fellow Rush George.
