Fostering Hope Summit: Unplugged
Saturday, November 15, 2025
10:00 am - 3:00 pm
The Meeting House, Columbia
Registration will begin at 9:30 am. A light breakfast, snacks and lunch will be provided throughout the day.
The Fostering Hope Summit, Unplugged, is a free, one-day experience designed to empower both youth and adults to unplug from negativity and plug into positive energy, purpose, and connection.
Students in grades 7–12 will engage in inspiring sessions, hands-on activities, and real conversations about mental health, resilience, and hope — all while earning service hours and enjoying food, music, and prizes.
At the same time, adults will join their own track to explore ways to better support young people and strengthen their own well-being.
It’s all happening on Saturday, November 15, from 10 AM to 3 PM at The Meeting House in Columbia.
It’s an unforgettable day of learning, laughter, and community — because when we unplug from what drains us, we can truly plug into what fuels us.
