at Historic Paulsdale
128 Hooton Rd. Mt. Laurel, NJ
The RYSE Youth Summit is the culmination of a year-long journey led by seven young women from across New Jersey committed to uncovering the hidden histories of the American Revolution. Together, they explored whose stories have been overlooked and how a fuller understanding of our nation’s founding can help shape a more just future.
Join us on Saturday, September 26th, 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 approaches to history, and consider how the stories we tell about our past can shape our future.
Registration is FREE for youth ages 12–22.
*Lunch, snacks, & refreshments will be provided
Adults are welcome to attend with sliding-scale tickets from $1–$25
