The RYSE Youth Summit is the culmination of a year-long journey led by seven NJ young women committed to uncovering the hidden histories of the American Revolution. Together, they explored whose stories have been overlooked and how a more complete understanding of our nation’s founding can inspire a more just future.
Join us on Saturday, September 26, at historic Paulsdale for a day of community, conversation, and discovery. Through interactive experiences and youth-led programming, participants will explore untold stories, engage with restorative historical narratives, and consider the role history plays in shaping the future.
