ATI Days of Discovery: Summer Recap ☀️

This summer, KCPC launched the pilot ATI Days of Discovery program, engaging 6th–12th grade students in six weeks of activities and conversations about life pathways, personal success, and the risks of substance use. The program provided a safe space for youth to grow, connect, and be inspired.

We look forward to building on this momentum and expanding the experience in summer 2026! 😎🚀

The 2025 CREATE YOUR DREAMS Youth Summit was nothing short of incredible — and it was all made possible by YOU.

To every volunteer who served with a smile, every speaker who poured into our youth, and every partner who helped bring this vision to life: thank you. Your presence and support created a space where middle and high school students felt empowered to dream big, speak up, and commit to living Above the Influence.

This year’s Summit saw record-breaking engagement, powerful conversations, and moments of transformation we won’t soon forget.

Together, we created more than an event — we created momentum. And we can’t wait to see where it takes us next.
