2024 Youth and Family Summit
The 2024 I'm Determined Youth and Family Summit is a three-day event held in June and sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) and the Partnership for People with Disabilities at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). Youth with disabilities across the Commonwealth meet to network and discuss issues of importance to youth and young adults with disabilities. Youth and families will learn about three key components of self-determination: Competence, Autonomy, and Relatedness.
Parents will attend separate sessions built specifically for them, focusing on the same components and also bringing in awareness of resources and agencies available to families in Virginia.
Date: June 11-13, 2024 (Tuesday evening - Thursday afternoon)
Location: Festival Conference and Student Center at James Madison University (JMU)
Attendees: This event is limited to 50 youth and families residing in Virginia.
Ages: Virginia youth with disabilities ages 14-18 (as of June 11, 2024) and accompanying parent(s)/guardian(s). There are no exceptions to the age requirement.
