At the Summit, your students will have the unique opportunity to be part of a Delegation for Change.  They will hear from subject matter experts and work together in small-group breakout delegations to generate solutions to real-world challenges that the next president and their generation will face.

Delegations will tackle one-of-many impact topics that they are interested in, including:
