MOVE Summit, July 17-19, 2022
Empowering African American males with disabilities to unlock their potential to overcome barriers, become self-determined, and graduate high school to be college and career-ready.
Virginia State University
Each July, the Virginia Department of Education welcomes African-American males with disabilities from across the Commonwealth to participate in a three-day summit.
Through utilizing state leadership and mentors, young men ages 13-21 engage in activity-based learning. Participants unlock their potential to overcome barriers, become self-determined, and graduate high school to be college and career-ready.
Concurrent parent workshops offer resources and tools to promote self-determination in their sons and increase parent engagement in the education process.
The MOVE Summit is sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education. All costs associated with lodging and meals are covered, as well as reimbursement for mileage to and from the event.
