From July 30-31, students from around the world gathered at Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, CA to participate in the fourth annual Legacy Summit.

There has never been a more important or urgent time to invest in young people than today. Legacy students are not just the leaders of tomorrow, they are the leaders of today. Summit gives these incredibly inspiring young people the chance to come together to build community, sharpen each other, and get equipped with the skills and strategy to take their place in solving our world's biggest problems. After more than two years of isolation, there may be no more important gathering on earth. — Seth Maxwell CEO and Founder of Legacy Youth Leadership
