2026 Level Ground Summer Student Showcase
About this Event
Join us for an energizing evening of movement, mentorship, and youth-led innovation at Level Ground’s Summer Student Showcase! This interactive event invites you to experience firsthand the power of our Student Trainer Program.
Cycle through dynamic stations where our students will demonstrate their skills as certified personal trainers, martial arts instructors, and young entrepreneurs. You’ll have the chance to participate in mini training sessions, try out martial arts techniques, and engage with student-led business projects—all designed and delivered by the youth themselves.
Whether you choose to observe or jump in, you’ll witness the growth, confidence, and leadership our students have cultivated all summer long. Come celebrate their hard work, connect with our vibrant community, and be inspired by the next generation of changemakers.
For those who wish to participate in training, please wear workout clothes. Otherwise, business casual and casual attire is welcomed.
Showcase runs from 6 - 7 pm, followed by a reception of (relatively) healthy treats!

Participants earn a Personal Training Certification, are trained to become martial arts instructors, gain hands-on business and trades experience, receive mentorship, and engage in academic enrichment.
