The North Coast Youth Summit is an amazing opportunity! I have had the chance to learn about careers as well as grow as a person… The Youth Summit has provided me with an amazing chance to enjoy learning. For those considering it, I would strongly recommend coming. The Youth Summit has inspiring keynote speakers and fun activities too!Dylan Diemer

The first time I went to the Northcoast Youth Summit, I was afraid and unsure if I wanted to go.  That was four years ago. I only knew one person when I went for the first time. We entered the theater and heard a story from one of the guest speakers, It was inspiring and I haven’t forgotten the story he told. After that I met new people, and learned cool things through the workshops. I had so much fun that I went again and again. . This year I am helping organize it.  I am excited about origami, creative reuse, and painting workshops.-
The Northcoast Youth Summit is a really great opportunity for any person to learn a thing or two, meet some people around the Humboldt, Mendocino, Del Norte & Trinity counties and hear inspiring stories from people who have achieved their dreams. –Jonathan Archibold

That is not true; there are many truly accessible parks in the Bay Area. Some are only a few years old.

This is a great event. High school students from Humboldt and Del Norte work together with a few adults to plan this event. My son has attended for years. He really enjoys it & learns so much. Now he’s helping plan the event and Learning even more. Support the kids who do good things. Support these kids who are working so hard on this event!
PLEASE Show your love & support for this event! It should get more comments than another meth face young adult’s illegal/ stupid crime spree!!!
