Welch and Schriber participated with students in discussing whether the Illinois State Board of Education should adopt a model student anti-harassment policy for public high schools that includes sexual orientation and gender identity. This was one of three policy issues that students from more than 1,200 high schools came together to explore and discuss. Now in its 14th year, the Illinois Youth Summit promotes awareness, investigation and civic action by high school students on current public policy issues affecting youth.
