The YAH Annual Youth Summit is the largest youth-focused gathering in Kono District — convening young people, community leaders, innovators, and development partners for a full day of inspiration, skills development, and networking.
Launched in 2023, the summit has grown each year in scale and ambition. It serves as a platform for showcasing local role models, addressing pressing youth issues, and connecting young people with the mentors, resources, and networks they need to thrive.
The 2026 edition is set to expand into a multi-day event, building on the momentum of three successful summits.
A nationally recognised achiever opens the day with a powerful address to inspire young attendees.
Diverse panellists tackle real issues facing youth — from unemployment and drug abuse to innovation and civic participation.
Practical workshops on entrepreneurship, leadership, digital skills, and career development.
Structured networking sessions connecting attendees with speakers, mentors, and peers from across the district.
Celebrating outstanding young contributors, volunteers, and community changemakers.
A collective commitment ceremony where every attendee pledges to apply what they've learned in their communities.
Every summit tells a story. Explore the highlights from each edition.
The 4th Annual YAH Youth Summit is coming in 2026 — and it's going to be bigger than ever.
