The Summit brings together talented students of diverse backgrounds from dozens of school districts across Long Island; the opportunity to work together in collaborative, solution-oriented teams can be priceless.
Students are invited to attend, and awards are given based on original research submitted to panels of judges composed of academic, business, and healthcare experts. Over three hundred students applied to attend the 2024 Youth Summit; 125 were invited, including seven Sacred Heart Academy students.
