SUMMARY:America's Future Summit
DESCRIPTION:America’s Future Summit celebrates America’s 250th birthday and reimagines civic education for a new generation. Convening Minnesota’s 250 top teens for a civic leadership competition\, students team up to innovate solutions in one of three fields: climate\, education\, and media. Students will emerge as Civic Bridgers — leaders who bridge divides and build a future on hopeful\, ambitious\, and citizen-led solutions. AFS is intentionally designed to update an often one-sided version of America’s story via storytelling\, bridge building\, and collaborative change-making where youth voices lead. This summit is grounded in a core belief: Teens are not guests in this democracy — they are leaders in its future.

SUMMARY:Urban-Rural Immersion Program
DESCRIPTION:The Urban Rural Immersion Program is a one-week\, in-person immersion for college students of urban and rural backgrounds. By convening urban and rural students for an immersive\, cross-cultural learning experience\, individuals emerge as Bridgers who feel bonded to one another and skilled to cross divides on their campuses and beyond. Participants engage in dialogues\, field trips\, and civic outings to build perspective and understanding of urban and rural life. \nThe program includes FREE single-occupancy hotel accommodations\, all meals\, and a transportation of up to $50 for in-state (MN) students and up to $150 for out-of-state students. \nFacilitator Bios: \nHarry C.
