Youth & Young Adults Health and Wellness Now: Reset. Refocus. Rise.
Join Youth Breakthrough Initiative Inc. (YBI) for its Annual Youth Summit on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 10 AM–4 PM at 1665 Hoe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460. Built for youth ages 13–17 ("Bright Futures") and young adults 18–29 ("Bigger Impact"), this free community event brings together roughly 100 attendees, 20 general vendors, and 20 food vendors under the theme Healing Minds. Building Futures. Changing Lives. (#ResetRefocusRise).
The day is organized around five pillars — Reset (stress-management tools), Reflect (safe spaces to connect and share), Rise (purpose and future-planning), Resources (health, legal, and career support), and Fun Activities (raffle, yoga, hairdos, haircuts, games, DJ, and dance crew). Programming includes three guest speakers, on-site health screenings (STD/HIV testing, Medicaid enrollment), dental and vision screenings, legal aid, voter registration, career development workshops, and a wellness zone with rest space, emotional-regulation support, and psych support.
The summit is presented in partnership with NYC DYCD, Commonpoint, Children's Arts & Science Workshops Inc., and Council Member Justin Sanchez's office, with additional community support from the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, NYPD's 44th Precinct Community Affairs, and National Action Network. The event is backed by a $50,000 sponsorship goal, with outreach underway to 100 Bronx-area organizations to help fund and staff the day.
