PPA Summit Student Track

PPA Summit Student Track Overview

Join us September 14-16, 2026 for the PPA Summit Student Track!

The Public Policy and Advocacy Summit Student Leadership Track is a dedicated student experience that takes place alongside the ACSI Public Policy and Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C. This student track is designed specifically for high school students from ACSI member schools to participate in and benefit from the broader summit experience.

While their advisors attend the main PPA Summit, students engage in a parallel leadership track that allows them to experience Washington, D.C. while building advocacy and leadership skills. Students will connect with policy experts, participate in student-focused sessions, visit Capitol Hill, and meet with their state representatives, all within the context of the larger ACSI summit. By attending together, school leaders and students share a unified summit experience, reinforcing civic engagement, leadership development, and advocacy from both adult and student perspectives.

All students must have at least one adult advisor registered for the Summit.

New this year: Each school is eligible for one discounted adult advisor registration at $350. Instructions for obtaining the discount will be emailed with the student registration confirmation.
