S.A.V.E.
(Students Advocating for Vital Engagements) is an organization founded to
inspire and galvanize young people to use their voices for change. The
virtual debut Summit will take place virtually on February 5 and 6 and is
available to any high school or college student. Sign up is free at www.saveforchange.org.
Students are also sourced by directors of TRIO Programs nationwide, Federal
outreach and student services programs that provide services for individuals
from underserved communities.
S.A.V.E. is
partnered with the 700 member National Black Caucus of State Legislators
(NBCSL), representing more than 50 million Americans of various racial
backgrounds, which has worked diligently over the last several years to include
students in their programs as a means of giving them the tools to learn about
and implement their civic duties.
The S.A.V.E.
Summit will present workshops with the help of experts and celebrities, notably
Mark Cuban, Metta World Peace, Gene Simmons and MC Lyte,
Missouri Senator Steven Roberts, Professor Kendrick Roberson and
more, who will offer their experience and knowledge. The umbrella topics
to be discussed include Police & Community Reform (Students Against Violent
Engagements), Economic Equality (Students Addressing & Valuing Economics),
Voting Rights (Students Advocating for Voting Expansion), Environmental Justice
(Students Against Violating the Earth) and Health Disparities (Students
Advancing Vitality & Exercise).
Negative Exposure, a new film to be released in Spring 2021, will be previewed by the Youth Summit attendees on February 5, with a discussion to follow the following day. The compelling and controversial film addresses relevant contemporary social issues which includes police reform and community awareness.
