The annual Teen Summit is End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin’s largest training, bringing youth, parents, educators, activists, and mentors from all over Wisconsin to learn about healthy relationships, teen dating violence, and sexual assault within a larger anti-oppression framework. We include educational and enthusiastic plenary speakers, as well as topic-related performances. We are expecting our highest attendance yet, with up to 1,000 anticipated attendees!
It will be a celebration of our many successes, as well as a time to revive and strengthen ourselves and our movement. We welcome attendees to challenge preconceived notions on how to deal with these issues and learn new strategies for successful prevention and education on teen issues.
The event starts on a Sunday to avoid taking youth out of school three days in a row. End Abuse offers an Excused Absence Form form every year that students can provide to their schools without fear of being tardy or having unexcused absences.
**Will update the excused absence form when we have the dates and venue chosen.

Important Documents
Here is a list of documents that are EXTREMELY important to review BEFORE participating in theTeen Summit. The documents are split up into for everyone, for youth, and for adults. We’ve created these documents to have a baseline of shared understanding of everyone’s expectations while at the Teen Summit.
FOR EVERYONE
Documents that everyone should be familiar with if attending the Teen Summit.
- Teen Summit Norms – The ways we agree to be with each other while at the Teen Summit. The norms are also ways to make sure that we are holding each other accountable for our actions to make a safe and brave space for everyone.
- 2020 Teen Summit Overview – This fact sheet explains what the Teen Summit is and what to expect when you attend. **Pages 2-3 are still relevant to explain the Teen Summit to those that may not know.
FOR YOUTH
These documents are specifically for youth and may need an adult mentors help to complete each one.
- Photo & Video Release Form – We will be taking photos and videos at the Teen Summit. Anyone under the age of 18 will be asked to get their parent or legal guardian’s permission to take photos and videos of them. We use the photos and videos to continue to promote and grow the event and make it even better. Funders love seeing real people that are attending the event which is why it is SO helpful to have photos and videos to share with them.
- If youth under 18 years old do not receive their parent or legal guardian’s permission to take photos or videos, they will get an identifiable lanyard at the Teen Summit so the photographers and videographers know to not record those folks.
- 2020 Excused Absence Letter – This document is for youth to fill out and give to their schools so that their absence will not be counted as unexcused while at the 2020 Teen Summit.
FOR ADULTS
This document is for adults that are bringing youth in a mentor or chaperone capacity.
- Teen Summit Mentor-Chaperone Toolkit – To provide resources, tips, and tricks to be a fully engaged adult with the youth that you are bringing to the 2020 Teen Summit. The toolkit is broken up into three parts; before, during, and after the Teen Summit. this toolkit was created by chaperones/mentors that have attended the Teen Summit in the past, Teen Council adult members, Dare 2 Know partners, and End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin Staff.
