On Monday, September 14, 2026, The Hear Foundation joined students from across the region at the 2026 Eradicate Hate Student Summit at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh.
Our table featured NOBLE and our Bridging the Badge program, which builds authentic connections between young people and law enforcement. Students stopped by to learn about our work, pick up Hear Foundation T-shirts, notebooks, and other giveaways, and talk about what safer communities look like to them.
The Student Summit kicked off a big week for The Hear Foundation, which also included the Eradicate Hate Global Summit and the premiere of The Weight of Forgiveness at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center.
Thank you to the Eradicate Hate Global Summit team for including us and for creating space for young people to lead this conversation.
