YOUTH FORUM

We are honored to welcome you to the inaugural Claiming our Future: Youth Action for a Resilient World, brought to you by the Sun Valley Institute’s Youth Council. We are a group of students from five different high schools around the country who wanted to have programming that mattered to us and our voices heard as we Claim our Future.  

We are excited to bring together like-minded students from around the nation who will investigate complex problems over a three-day intensive retreat. The goal of the Youth Forum is twofold: first, to inspire the next generation (us!) of leaders to discuss radical new ideas around sustainability and second, to create a network of the next generation of empowered change makers unafraid to use our voices in the face of an uncertain future. We are excited to welcome you to Sun Valley this summer!

The Youth Forum will parallel the Sun Valley Institute’s annual Forum schedule with interactions among our two communities of change makers to benefit all.
