Youth Summit and Leadership Conference.
Each year the city of Charleston partners with the Charleston County School District to hold a Youth Summit and a Leadership Conference. The Mayors Youth Commission takes on the main responsibility of planning the spring youth summit, deciding on the theme and issues to be addressed. The purpose of the summit is to provide an opportunity for youth from all public and private high schools in Charleston County to voice their opinions on these issues and help find solutions. Twelve students from each high school are invited to attend with an adult chaperon from their school.
The city also sponsors an annual Leadership Conference to provide high school youth with an opportunity to build their leadership and communication skills.
