The Seattle Teen Summit (STS) is an annual event with a mission to "empower, engage, and equip young leaders from diverse backgrounds across Seattle to connect to and serve their communities, develop strong leadership skills, and challenge injustice. STS brings together Seattle youth from all socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, religious, gender, nationality, sexuality, ability backgrounds in order to cultivate spaces for rich civic engagement, generative conversation, and personal and communal reflection."
