Welcome to the 2025 NEO Youth Climate Summit!

Students in grades 9-12, join us at the Cleveland Public Library-Louis Stokes Wing for a day filled with inspiring speakers, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities. This event is your chance to connect with like-minded individuals passionate about tackling climate change. Learn from experts in the field, participate in engaging discussions, and discover how you can make a difference in your community. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to be part of the movement towards a more sustainable future!

Please note that earlier advertising referenced grades 8-12. Unfortunately, due to overwhelming demand we have to limit this year's summit to 9-12 only. We are looking into how to host a middle school summit in the future!
