Teen Truth LiveDifference Maker Summit

The TEEN TRUTH: DIFFERENCE MAKER SUMMIT (TT: DMS) teaches youth how to be effective leaders who can think critically about prevalent school challenges and develop an effective action plan to overcome those challenges to create a safer connected campus. The two-part interactive training session begins by training key leaders to think differently about their role as a leader and about the current issues impacting your school climate. Ultimately, empowering the students to develop a comprehensive blue print to address the identified concerns. The program is offered to schools intent on improving the impact of existing leadership groups or who are looking to identify new student leaders.

The TT: DMS is a two-hour course guided by your TT speaker. He or she will use storytelling, critical thinking skills, and interactive activities to lead your students through the leadership workshop. At the conclusion of this program your students will:

• Identify critical campus issues that need to be addressed

• Brainstorm tangible and executable solutions that they can implement on campus

• Understand the value of building a campus united by the concept of “we” and not on “me”

• Create an activity calendar including events that focus on connecting the student body
