The Power² Summit made its long-awaited return on Tuesday, May 5th with 175 youth and adult attendees participating from UP teams across Vermont. This year’s Power² Summit, the first in person Summit since 2020, built on a legacy of elevating student voice, amplifying the power of youth-adult partnership, and imagining the next steps in education together. With the day’s theme of Collective Action, Collective Impact, Collective Joy, Repeat, we explored what we can do, together, when our power is exponentially multiplied. 

Throughout the day, we were lucky enough to work with ethnographer and filmmaker, Ned Castle, to gather film and testimony about changework and their experiences which you can view here.
