On March 26 to August 1, three of our teens, Will Doran, Jessica Contreras and Kamryn Barker accompanied their Clubhouse Coordinator to Boston, Massachusetts for the semi-annual Teen Summit. Along with about 200 other youth from 19 different countries, our teens attended general sessions, where each region of Clubhouses made a presentation about their individual countries, workshops including Shoe Design, Animation and Mural Design and each took part in a three-day track. Will participated in the Video Production track, learning the ins and outs of filming and editing. Jessica attended the Documentary Track, learning how to plan and direct and documentary film. Kamryn played a large role in the World Music track, writing music with teens from around the world and singing a chorus on the group’s final song.
Before leaving Sonoma for their worldly adventure, the three teens were eager to find what awaited them, but had little knowledge of the impact the Teen Summit would make on their lives. Over the week in Boston, the three teens made friends with teens from all over the world and continue to connect with them through Facebook and Skype video chat. There have been talks of trips to Ireland and several inquiries about programs for studying abroad. The three will also be working on a project in the Computer Clubhouse that will share what they learned from the Teen Summit with the other youth in the Clubhouse.
With a focus on empowering youth, Adobe Youth Voices supports young people in and out of school and encourages the use of cutting-edge multimedia tools to communicate and share their ideas, demonstrate their potential, and take action where they live.
The Adobe Youth Voices global network currently includes more than 500 sites and a large, expanding number of grantees and organizations in 32 countries. Since its inception, Adobe Youth Voices has engaged over 27,000 youth and 1,500 educators in schools and out-of-school programs.

The Clubhouse is guided by four principles:
* The Clubhouse focuses on "constructionist" activities, encouraging young people to work as designers, inventors, and creators.
* The Clubhouse encourages youth to work on projects related to their own interests.
* The Clubhouse aims to create a sense of community, where young people work together with one another with support and inspiration from adult mentors.
* The Clubhouse is dedicated to offering resources and opportunities to those who would not otherwise have access to them.
The Computer Clubhouse gives participants the opportunity to become designers and creators--not just passive consumers--of technology. The Clubhouse provides the resources, materials, and tools for young people to develop projects in the following areas:
- Sound Engineering
- Digital Video Editing
- Graphic Design
- Animation
- Robotics
- Web Design
- Video Game and Interactive Programming
