SIGNIFICANCE OF ‘BE THE HERO' THEME
Members of the ATI-Kent County Youth Coalition decided upon ‘Be the Hero’ as the 2016 conference theme. Oftentimes, we have an idealized picture of what a hero looks or acts like, however, a hero is someone who is admired for their noble qualities such as courage and outstanding achievements. Be the Hero is an anthem which declares that all youth have the capacity to be a hero in their own rite. Be the Hero is a declaration of the collective power of this generation to take a stand as everyday heroes and to drive positive change in our community, while transforming health and wellness trends and overcoming pop culture messages that suggest that alcohol, tobacco and other drugs are not harmful. Ultimately this year’s theme speaks to Summit 2016’s goal of empowering and equipping every attendee to excel individually, lead socially, and revolutionize their families, schools, and community by living ABOVE THE INFLUENCE!
