Mission & Beliefs
Since 2019, Texas Youth Summit has equipped young Texans with Judeo-Christian values, conservative principles, and the leadership skills to stand for them.
Our Vision
We see a generation of young Texans who know what they believe and why, and who have the courage to lead on their campuses, in their churches and communities, and across our nation.
What We Believe
Faith
The Judeo-Christian principles that shaped our nation are the firm foundation for a life of purpose and leadership.
Family
Strong families are the first school of character, and we welcome parents as partners in raising the next generation of leaders.
Freedom
Liberty is a God-given right, and every generation must learn to defend it.
The Constitution
We stand for limited, constitutional government and teach the principles that make America exceptional.
Free Markets
Fiscal responsibility and free markets create opportunity and prosperity for every Texan.
Life
Every human life has dignity and worth, from conception onward.
What We Do Year-Round
The Annual Summit
What began in 2019 with 200 students has grown into one of the largest gatherings of its kind in Texas.

Pick Up the Mic Campus Events
We bring the conversation straight to high school and college campuses across Texas: open mics, honest questions, and students finding their voice.
Our Mission
We identify, educate, and train the next generation to champion fiscal responsibility, free markets, limited government, American exceptionalism, and the Judeo-Christian principles that have shaped our nation.
Texas Youth Summit is hosted by Texas Youth Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and co-hosted by Texas Youth Action, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit dedicated to civic engagement and public policy education.
Picking Up the Mic
Charlie Kirk spoke at Texas Youth Summit many times. He was younger than me, but I always looked up to him. We honor his memory by picking up the mic and carrying forward the mission to equip the next generation with faith, courage, and conviction.
— Christian Collins
Our Pick Up the Mic campus events carry that mission forward.
Who It's For
Texas Youth Summit is for anyone who cares about the next generation: students, parents, educators, and faith leaders. You don't need to be a student to come. Bring your family, your youth group, or your whole church.
