NAIS Student Civic Leadership Summit Information Session

Are you interested in sending a student cohort to the 2027 NAIS Student Civic Leadership Summit (January 26-29, Washington, D.C.)? Attend this session with our partners Close Up Foundation to learn more about the event and how to register.

The summit brings together high school students from across the country to build knowledge, develop strategies, and hone leadership skills to make a positive impact. Through engagement with experts and collaborative inquiry into pressing national issues, students consider their individual and collective responsibilities and agency, identify best practices in community engagement, and develop vision statements and strategies to make a difference in their own communities.

The 2027 summit is open to high school students with an interest in civic action and community engagement, and are traveling with an educator from their school who is attending the concurrent NNSP Annual Conference. The summit and conference will culminate with a student presentation gallery, where each school group will present to educators their vision statements and implementation plans to make an impact in their community.
