NIU to host CPS Young Men of Color Summit.
The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Young Men of Color Summit will be hosted by NIU at the Holmes Student Center on Feb. 17 from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. The 10th Annual CPS Young Men of Color Summit will welcome up to 600 young male-identifying students in grades 9 through 12. The theme of the event is "Your Plan... Your Future".
The summit is designed for students to explore their own power:
- Power to explore who they are as a person and what career and life options are available to them.
- Power to choose a pathway that aligns with who they want to be.
- Power to succeed with whatever path they take.
- Power to join with others to uplift their communities.
Students will participate in interactive workshops and have the opportunity to engage with representatives from colleges/universities, branches of the military, workforce development and community based organizations in our on-site resource fair.
