Now in its 21st year, the National Urban League Youth Summit (formerly known as NULITES) is a college based conference that brings together up to 400 youth and their chaperons from across the nation.  The Youth Summit functions as the annual culminating event for all National Urban League Education and Youth Development programs and reinforces the goals and practices of the local affiliates’ work with middle and high school age youth. The four day event immerses young people in a college setting in order to provide them a unique educational and development experience focused on the further development of important skills for college, career and life.

While youth participants learn to navigate the college experience, affiliate program staff and leadership are provided with structured professional development and capacity building workshops. Highlights from this year’s summit include:

• the Project Ready Case Competition
• the National Urban League Youth Summit Day of Service
• the Centennial Youth Summit Town Hall
• the National Urban League Invitational College Fair
• Legacy of Success: 100@100 Luncheon
