The Summer Summit is Youth Solutions’ annual statewide professional development conference. This three day-long event sets the tone and approach for the upcoming year, allowing Youth Solutions to highlight priorities, provide training and resources, and celebrate the accomplishments of our network. The Summer Summit allows us to get together with our partners and colleagues across the state, building trust and a sense of community, while sharing information needed to better serve youth in Michigan.
