"The American Express Center for Community Development is proud to partner with the Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs to support the Multicultural Youth Leadership programs. We believe that the goal of these programs, which is to curb the pattern of intergenerational cycles of poverty and racial disparities for underserved students from diverse racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds, will have profound impacts on the communities in which these youth will become leaders and respected citizens."

Multicultural Youth Leadership Summit
The Multicultural Youth Leadership Summit is an annual event for 7th, 8th and 9th grade students and educators held in support of Governor Gary R.

Our aim is to motivate students to pursue higher education and become leaders of Utah.

Every year the Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs invites high school students to attend Multicultural Youth Leadership Day to learn how to be community advocates and get involved in public service . The half-day event focuses on understanding the importance of becoming informed and involved citizens. As part of the program, select students and educators are awarded the Excellence in Education Award.
