Why are Club teens from across the country in Washington, D.C. this week?   They're here for the Summit for America's Youth, an annual leadership and advocacy experience where young people meet with lawmakers, share the issues impacting their communities, and learn how to turn their voices into action.   At Boys & Girls Clubs of America, we believe leadership starts long before adulthood. Through opportunities like the Summit, Club teens build confidence, strengthen their leadership skills, and discover the power of advocating for solutions that create stronger communities.   Throughout the week, we'll share snippets of these inspiring young leaders, their stories, and the impact they're already making.   Because when young people are empowered to lead, America's future is stronger. And a thank you to our presenting sponsors Five Below and Andrew Carnegie Foundation.   #SAY2026 #ClubTeensInDC #YouthVoice #GreatFutures
