Inclusive Communities Prepares for One of the Coolest Youth Events of 2025
If you’re a young person in Omaha or Lincoln next fall, there’s one event you won’t want to miss: the Youth Impact Summit.
As this year’s event is already sold out.
It’s bold, it’s creative, it’s youth-led, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most engaging experiences.
Set for Friday, Nov. 21, 2025, at the Milo Bail Student Center at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Inclusive Communities’ Youth Impact Summit is bringing together high school students from across the metro for a day built entirely around the issues and ideas young people care about most.
This year’s theme — Reflect. Grow. Act. — isn’t just a tagline. It’s a challenge. An invitation. A call for students to step into their power and explore who they are and who they want to become.
Working alongside Inclusive Communities is the Youth Advisory Committee, a group of motivated young leaders helping design a summit that feels fresh, relevant, and grounded in the realities youth face today. Together, they’re shaping conversations around:
Mental and physical health
Healthy relationships and conflict navigation
Environmental stewardship
Cultural identity and empathy
Social media literacy
Leadership development
The entire experience is intentionally designed to be interactive, immersive, and youth-centered. It’s not another lecture. It’s not a panel of adults talking to students. It’s a day of hands-on dialogue, peer-to-peer learning, creative problem-solving, and real conversations.
And thanks to the support of the Lozier Foundation, the event is completely FREE, ensuring that cost isn’t a barrier to participation.
While the summit is the centerpiece, it’s just one part of a larger wave of momentum moving through Inclusive Communities right now. Across the organization, programs are strengthening, partnerships are expanding, and leadership is being elevated at every level.
Inclusive Communities is stepping confidently into a season of growth, fueled by youth voice, community collaboration, and the belief that young people aren’t just the leaders of tomorrow. They’re the changemakers of right now.
