Dearborn Co. Youth Ambassadors Cancel 2020 CASA Youth Summit, Launch "Digital Summit"

This "digital summit" will launch on April 7th.

(Dearborn Co., Ind.) - The Dearborn County Youth Ambassadors have made the decision to cancel the 2020 CASA Youth Summit on March 31. 

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the closure of Indiana schools, the annual eighth-grade field trip had to be cancelled. 

However, the Youth Ambassadors have decided to provide learning tools and materials through an online platform. This "digital summit" will launch on April 7.

"The spread of COVID-19 may necessitate changes in the way we learn, but it does not change our desire to continue learning or the importance of doing so. We know as precautions are taken to ensure the safety of our communities, we must find new methods to keep learning on track for everyone at every level," says the online apology from the Youth Ambassadors. "It may not be the same experience as a face to face summit, but we all have to do our part during these trying times."

The Youth Summit will be continued in 2021 on Wednesday, March 31.

"We are so thankful for your support and the Youth are truly devastated that they cannot move forward as intended," says the DCYA members.
