2027 Youth Service Leadership Summit

The Ryan Nece Foundation and Community Tampa Bay invite you to join us Friday, February 12, 2027, at Feeding Tampa Bay’s Causeway Center for our 7th annual Youth Service Leadership Summit. This event is open to all high school teens aged 14 to 18 years old. February 12th is a Non-Student Day for most Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco County public school students. Please note: For any students where February 12th is a student day, please seek out permissions from your school (you can involve us in that process) to be involved.

Go BACK TO THE FUTURE at this year’s Youth Service Leadership Summit, a teen-led event where students will get back to the basics of leadership to discover the impact they can make as our future leaders. Through a morning of volunteering, followed by interactive workshops, inspiring speakers, and hands-on activities, students will explore how to be the changemakers of both today and tomorrow.
