2021 ELCA Youth Leadership Summit
Youth Application Form
November 4-7, 2021 at the Marriott Downtown Hotel in Minneapolis, MN
The theme for the 2021 Summit is Relentless...in love, hope, trust, faith, and action.
The ELCA Youth Leadership Summit is an annual gathering for high school youth identified as leaders and an adult representative from each synod. Youth will be challenged to take home what they learn and inspire others to action and teach others what they learned in their own synods and youth groups.
The Youth Leadership Summit is a ministry of the ELCA and partners with the Christian Community and Leadership Home Area, the SYMBOL network, the ELCA Youth Gathering, 65 Synods across the United States, ELCA Disability Ministries and ELCA Ethnic Specific Ministries.
All lodging, most meals, and programming are provided by a gracious grant from the ELCA. Your synod’s responsibility is to provide the flights for the two youth and one adult attending from your synod, one meal while youth and their adults explore the city, and any incidentals they might incur during their travels.
Who attends? Two youth in grades 9-12 and one adult per synod are invited to attend.
