2025 Global Leadership Summit: Esteban Olivares, Dr. Jean Accius, Elena Saviolakis, Antoinette Marousis Zachariades & Kacie Kelly — Youth, Equity, and Systems Change
Send us a text
Five subway stops shouldn’t cost a decade of life. That jarring image sets the stage for a fast-moving, solutions-focused conversation with leaders who are closing health gaps, reimagining summer learning as a college pipeline, and delivering school-based mental health at scale. Together, they connect the dots between business, philanthropy, nonprofits, and public systems—showing how collaboration becomes a real lever for change, not just a buzzword.
We explore place-based health disparities and the Leadership Council for Healthier Communities, where data and local partnerships guide investment and scaling. Dr. Jean Accius explains how pairing lived experience with evidence—like the Doula Diaries initiative—turns stories into policy action. Esteban Olivares shares why summer can’t be optional anymore and how cross-sector programs open pathways for under-resourced students into AI, pre-law, and health fields. From libraries to universities, the right summer experiences build belonging, skills, and momentum toward college and careers.
Elena Saviolakis and Grand President Antoinette Marousis Zachariades of the Daughters of Penelope discuss how storytelling preserves legacy and mentorship converts it into action—through youth-led “blessing bag” projects for the homeless and a Capitol Hill Day that demystifies government. Kacie Kelly of the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute pulls back the curtain on scaling evidence-based care across schools, health systems, and justice programs, spotlighting a Texas model that offers same-day access and up to six sessions of support to millions of students with sustainable funding.
If you care about health equity, college access, youth leadership, and practical systems change, you’ll find a playbook here: measure what matters, start small, build unusual alliances, and let values guide the work. Subscribe, share with a colleague who leads across sectors, and leave a review with your favorite takeaway so more people can find and apply these ideas.
