How does Teen Summit support the needs of VCUSD, parents, and youth?  

The platform for Teen Summit has been designed to respond to the educators and align with the objectives that the VCUSD has committed to achieve.  In an effort to support the initiatives addressed in the Positive Youth Justice Initiative Planning Grant (PYJI), we use a social innovative model to develop lasting relationship that will inspire our youth to stay on the right path and lead positive lifestyles, even after high school.



PYJI components include:

• Workforce development
• Youth leadership as gang intervention/prevention
• Student engagement/empowerment
• Family empowerment as intergenerational neighborhood intervention
