Background

In 2021, Mayor Scott challenged the Mayor's Office of Children and Family Success to create an annual youth summit and other events that focus on issues important to young people in Baltimore City. These events give Mayor Scott a chance to connect with young people face-to-face and have meaningful conversations. This helps build stronger connections between youth, their peers and community leaders, while meeting them where they are with resources and tools to help them succeed.
