Project Title: Lorenzo’s Youth Summit
Project Description:

Lorenzo’s Youth Summit is a free, virtual worldwide gathering that unites the sons, daughters of a parent affected by younger-onset dementia. Together, we create a space to heal, connect, and advocate for dementia justice.
At this one-of-a-kind event, we share lived experiences, amplifying our collective wisdom to foster a more informed and compassionate world. Experts in the field join us to lead with knowledge, offering insight and guidance, while our community members lead with heart, sharing stories that inspire resilience and change.
Beyond learning, the Summit is a sanctuary—a place where young people feel seen and understood. Here, lifelong connections are formed, voices are strengthened, and action is ignited. Together, we reimagine a world where families navigating younger-onset dementia are met with empathy, support, and hope.
Join us as we turn our experiences into a movement—one that transforms grief into growth and isolation into solidarity.
