Hands down. Voices Up.

We’re building a movement for good.

Students are people. Our ideas and opinions matter. We shouldn’t need permission to speak. Adults don’t raise their hands when they’re having a conversation, and neither should we.

The Hands Down, Voices Up summit is an interactive gathering in Boise, Idaho, where students – and a few adults who support and empower them – get the chance to grab a megaphone and solve real problems with real people.

But Hands Down, Voices Up is more than an event. It’s a movement. Summit attendees leave with with a toolkit for change that helps them create good in their own communities, throughout the year.
