The student track was created to give young people and educators a seat at the table with world visionaries and leaders who are at the forefront of the fight against antisemitism and hate.

Young people have inspired imaginations and innovative ideas on how to make their schools and communities more inclusive, brave and equitable and we welcome and encourage them to share their voices and be part of the solution.

The student track also helps build leadership skills that can help young people not only in school, but after they graduate and for the rest of their lives.

While all Never Is Now programming is appropriate for high school students, high school students and educators will have their own unique experience. Together, students will attend panels, participate in an exclusive ADL-led workshop, build connections with teens from other schools, debrief in student-centered discussions and explore their role in challenging antisemitism and championing justice in their communities. 

The dedicated student track workshop will be centered on topics raised in other Never Is Now sessions and panels. Students will work with their peers and ADL facilitators to construct strategies for applying the learning to their own lives, their schools and the world around them. Educators will receive a resource guide to prepare their students for the experience and continue the learning beyond the Never Is Now Summit.

Educators are asked to chaperone their students throughout the conference. Educators will be able to engage in activities and learning in the same space as students during the dedicated Student Track session.

Yes, educators and students will have access to all the panels at the event including the opening and closing plenaries. The agenda will be shared as soon as it’s available.

More details about the agenda including student track content, speakers and panelists will be announced as they become available.
