Special Olympics sponsored TT: DM SUMMIT

Special Olympics Texas and TEEN TRUTH are proud to offer a unique TEEN TRUTH: DIFFERENCE MAKER SUMMIT opportunity.  Focused on social inclusion and thought provoking leadership models this event is poised to become the premiere solution for leadership development efforts across the state of Texas. Featuring award-winning content, powerful speaking performances, and workshop-style sessions this full-day event gives students a critical understanding of the issues currently affecting school climate and empowers them to develop an action plan that addresses identified concerns. Overall, the goal of this life-changing event is to produce campus wide initiatives that will improve school safety and build campus culture.

Ideal for middle school or high school aged audiences; our focus is to help student leaders understand that being an effective leader is about more than producing dances, rallies, or theme days. The TT: DM SUMMIT teaches the importance of their elected position and how to use campus activities to improve student life. Geared to be a full day experience, the TT: DM SUMMIT features TT’s trademark student shot films as it works to redefine leadership and teach important skills such as:

• Possessing a greater understanding of what it means to be a leader
• Brainstorming critical campus issues that are negatively affecting school culture
• Developing tangible solutions that can be implemented on campus
• Creating a year long activity calendar that focuses on connecting the student body
