The Association of Illinois Township Committees on Youth is pleased to be hosting the 2017 Youth Summit at Hanover Township in Bartlett. The Summit is a unique networking opportunity where Townships from across the State will be attending to develop a deeper perspective on understanding youth and the challenges they face as well as what challenges Townships are facing. Each participating Township will have two Youth Delegates, 8th-12th graders, in attendance. The Youth Delegates will be representing their Township and community, giving voice to youth issues. The Youth Delegates will also spend much of the day developing their leadership skills, having fun and advancing their abilities to impact local government. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity--don’t miss out!
