Youth Summer Program 2026
A Summer of Connection, Growth, & Mental Wellness
The Thumbs Up Youth Summer Program is a safe, supportive space where middle and high school students can connect, build confidence, and learn real-life tools to support their mental health.
Led by caring mentors and mental health advocates, our program offers fun activities, life skills, and meaningful conversations designed to empower today’s youth to thrive.
Thumbs Up is also partnering with ISD 728 Community Education this summer to bring valuable mental health workshops to their EdVenture Program!
