ACR Hosts 2026 Back-to-School Youth Readiness Summit

Amplify Community Resources hosted its fifth-annual Back-to-School Youth Readiness Summit at Miami Dade College, sending hundreds of Miami-Dade students into the new school year with supplies, skills, and support.

Students spent the day in sessions on mental health awareness, stress management, and readiness for the year ahead, with room in every workshop for the honest conversation Teen Talk is known for. The day closed with a giveaway, and students headed home with bags of school supplies for the first day.

The summit happens because partners show up for Miami-Dade students, year after year. Thank you to everyone who made 2026 possible: ACR, RER, Greater Miami Service Corps, The Children’s Trust, City of Miami Police, Miami Dade Sheriff’s Office, Miami Dade College Medical Campus, The W.I.S.H. Foundation, The Resource Room, and The Miami Book Fair. And a warm welcome to our newest community partners, the Miami Dolphins, Amazon, and EdFed.

The recap below captures the energy of the day, from the workshop rooms to the giveaway line. Press play for a look at the 2026 summit.
