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.

2021 was our first-ever completely virtual, completely FREETeen Summit. This was a celebration of our many successes, as well as a time to revive and strengthen ourselves and our movement. We welcomed 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.
Here is a list of documents that are EXTREMELY important to review BEFORE participating in the Teen 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.
FOR YOUTH
These documents are specifically for youth and may need an adult mentors help to complete each one.
2021 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 participating in the 2021 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 2021 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.
