PolyStrong 2026 Leadership Summit
This past March 13–14 at the University of Utah, hundreds of Pacific Islander high school students gathered to explore pathways in law, education, real estate, tech, entertainment, and more. They connected with leaders who not only looked like them but understood their roots, values, and dreams.
From changemakers like Fa’Avae Fa’Avae, Sete Aulai, and Laura Lui, to cultural creators like Sam Mangakahia and Namealoha Hekekia, our students were empowered by voices that reflected their own identities and potential.
At PolyStrong, our mission is clear: to elevate Pacific Islander youth by creating spaces where they can envision and claim their place in every industry, from courtrooms to creative studios. And we want you to be part of it.
Whether through mentoring, speaking, sponsoring, or simply attending, your presence next year could be part of what makes 2026 even more powerful.
Let’s build something lasting—together.
