Welcome to the Youth Leadership Summit

We are thrilled that you have chosen to participate in the Youth Leadership Summit. This year we will be attempting to pull together youth participants and college/university student mentors in an online collaboration. The first step in this collaboration is for each individual (youth participants, advisors, chaperones, and mentors) to get their own google account so that they can act as contributers on the individual sites created for each team. Please visit google to set up your own personal account. Once you have created your own account, please send an email with your account username to utahcampuscompact@gmail.com so that you will receive an invitation to contribute to your team site.

The team sites will be used throughout the year to allow collaboration between teams and their mentors. Anytime you need suggestions from your mentors, or anytime your mentors have valuable information to share with you, this site will allow for team communication. If you want to comment on something that has already been shared on the site, you will comment on that post. If you want to start a new topic, you will create a new post.

Feel free to add pictures of your events and other news that you want to share with your mentors. Your mentors will be in contact with you and your team through this site at least once per month, through December. If they do not respond to you within a few days, please email utahcampuscompact@gmail.com to get assistance.

Again we are excited for this new element of the Summit and we hope it will be valuable to you. If you ever have any questions, comments, or problems related to this mentor program, please contact TRacy Healey at thealey@utahsbr.edu
