Welcome to the Rooted in Us Annual Youth Summit! DYD is hosting this free event filled with food, music, resources, youth centered workshops and hands-on activities—all centered around youth leadership and empowerment.

CARE FIRST Interviews
Be seen & heard by sharing your story
Help inspire others by sharing what programs or resources have been the most meaningful in your life. DYD is collecting personal stories about what CARE means to you. Peer to peer communications are what get noticed, heard, and shared. Are you interested in being interviewed and telling your story at the Summit? If so, please let us know and we will reach out to schedule it!

CARE FIRST Mural
Contribute to a collaborative work of art
Homeboy Art Academy and their team of youth ambassadors, led by renowned street artist Fabian Deborah, have designed a new, traveling mural for DYD. Join them and add your artistic touch to the giant 8’ x 16’ design! Participate in one of two 45-minute breakout sessions to learn some new art techniques, share your story, and make your mark! All participants are also welcome to stop by during the lunch hour.

Featuring DJs from by Give A Beat.
