The Brightside Project hosted their second annual Youth Summit for teenagers in Columbiana and Mahoning County Saturday, March 15.

The summit featured speakers from Reach One to help inspire and uplift teenagers, helping them discover their purpose and navigate life's challenges. 

Those who participated were provided with free meals and snacks thanks to donations from local businesses. 

"To see them all come together today at this event, no matter where they are at in their life, no matter what challenges they face or what they are struggling with, there is something here today for all of them," said Lisa Vittorio, Co-Director& Co-Founder of The Brightside Project.

Next year's summit will also be held in March, however, no specific date has been chosen.
