2000 Illinois Youth Summit
2000 Illinois Youth Summit Now in its sixth year, the Illinois Youth Summit focuses on issues of violence affecting youth. In November 1999, the Student Advisory Committee—representatives from 22 different urban, suburban, and rural high school classrooms across Illinois—met to determine youth safety issues of greatest relevance to students across the state.
These students identified the three sources of violence to address at the Summit: Sublinks
Drug Abuse
Gangs
Intolerance
















On May 4, teams of student representatives from each participating school will meet with policy makers at the 2000 Illinois Youth Summit, where students and policy makers will share what they know and how they understand what government is doing in reaction to these issues of violence.
