Mayor's Youth Summit

The Mayor’s Youth Summit is a citywide celebration that aims to engage and inspire Boston’s young people. It is held annually on the second Saturday of February Break.

The Mayor's Youth Summit was first held in 1994 under the Menino administration, and was held annually for 10 years. The 2024 Mayor's Youth Summit marked the 20th anniversary since it was last held and 30 years since its inception. 

The 2025 Mayor's Youth Summit, held February 22, at Artists for Humanity EpiCenter, brought together over 500 community members to celebrate the contributions of young people to our City’s culture.
