The Ryan Nece Foundation and Community Tampa Bay invite you to join us Friday, February 13, 2026, at Feeding Tampa Bay’s Causeway Center for our 6th annual Youth Service Leadership Summit, presented by Suncoast Credit Union. This event is open to all high school teens aged 14 to 18 years old. February 13th is a Non-Student Day for most Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco County public school students. Please note: For any students where February 13th is a student day, please seek out permissions from your school (you can involve us in that process) to be involved.

The mission of our Youth Service Leadership Summit, presented by Suncoast Credit Union, is to help build, shape, and mentor the next generation of servant leaders in our community, by engaging high school students in a morning of community service, followed with an afternoon of leadership education with talented speakers. Our hope is students will discover the power of heart!
