Ed100 Academy becomes Children Now Summit
The Ed100 Academy is now the Summit for Student Leaders!
I’m pleased to share an exciting announcement! This Fall, Children Now will host the 2023 Summit for Student Leaders, in partnership with a range of youth-led groups throughout California. The Summit is an evolution of the widely-acclaimed Ed100 Academy for Student Leaders, which was held for the last three years.
Want to get involved? Contact Sara Ortega at [email protected]!
The goal of this 1.5-day online Summit is to support the development and engagement of well-informed student leaders, so student voices have a strong impact on policy. The 2023 Summit for Student Leaders will focus on training about key education policy issues, understanding government relations in Sacramento, and creating effective networks for engagement in policy change. The program will also support stronger connections among student-led groups and deepen their ability to make a difference for students in California together.
If you’re a high school or college student and are interested in volunteering for this event, please reach out to Sara Ortega at [email protected].
A note from Sara Ortega, Children Now
I'm excited about the work ahead! Student voice is vital, and it will be wonderful to support students and youth-led organizations through the Summit.
A little about me: I was born and raised in California to Nicaraguan immigrant parents. My experiences growing up in a bicultural community inspired and drove me to pursue Public Health with a minor in Public Policy for college. Since graduating, I’ve dived into the field of policy and advocacy with Children Now and absolutely LOVE IT! My goal for this summit is to create a fun and engaging event, to learn from all of you, and to build strong connections with our student leaders.
If you’re a high school or college student and are interested in volunteering for this summit, please reach out to me at [email protected].
A note from Jeff Camp, Ed100
This is an important transition and I’m excited about the path ahead. I think it makes sense to appreciate how far we’ve come.
I am deeply grateful to the many people — adults and students — who together brought the vision of the Academy to life despite the challenges of the pandemic. To name just a few of the superheroes, I’m particularly grateful to Jennifer, Arati, Kaylee, Brenna, Zaid, Alvin, Selisa, John, Carrie and Sal. There are many, many others.

Many remarkable people have taken time to bring their knowledge and inspiration to student leaders at the Academy. Some of their presentations have served as the basis for blog posts on Ed100, so anyone can benefit from them. Here are just some of the highlights.
