Creating opportunities for youth to grow

Some teens just need the right room. A place that says, "You belong here. Dream bigger."

The Ignite Joy Youth Summer Activation creates opportunities for young people to grow, lead, explore, and connect through meaningful summer experiences designed in partnership with schools and community organizations.

What It Is

Ignite Joy Youth is a summer activation designed to create meaningful opportunities for young people to learn, grow, lead, and connect outside of the traditional school environment.

Rather than operating as a standalone camp, Ignite Joy Youth partners with schools, nonprofits, universities, community organizations, and mission-aligned institutions to deliver customized youth experiences that respond to the unique needs of the communities we serve.

Who It’s For

Youth ages 14–18 with leadership spark (even if it shows up as “I talk too much in class”)
Students who would thrive with exposure to college and career pathways
Young people who want to make an impact in their schools, faith communities, or neighborhoods

Families and educators who want a safe, structured, high-expectation summer option
