The Sigma Youth Symposium is an annual service initiative by Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. held globally  in March, to address critical issues affecting youth through workshops, speakers, and community engagement, providing support and positive development opportunities for middle and high school students.  ​

​

On Saturday, March 7, 2026, we will  host a Sigma Youth Symposium in Indianapolis, Indiana at North Central High School from 10am to 1pm. This event is free and open to the public with registration. Lunch will be provided for registrants. We will host a panel discussion, breakout sessions and a career fair. Featuring music from DJ Tang!

​

This year’s event goals include: 

• Increasing career awareness for people of color in the Indianapolis community

• Educating scholars on the relationship between school work and a successful professional career

• Understanding  the importance of community building and how the work relates to the needs of society

• Discussing the importance of personal responsibility, networking  and the benefits of educational achievement

• We are currently recruiting career table hosts, workshop facilitators and panelist speakers for this year’s event. 

During the event, all professionals are expected to introduce themselves to youth attending, provide an overview of their job/field, share their educational journey and what it takes to be in their role. ​Participant deadline is March 1, 2026. Your participation will make it possible for us to continue our mission and provide vital resources to the community. ​
