Welcome to Unity in Action Youth Showcase 2026!

Every young person deserves an opportunity to be seen, heard, supported, and celebrated.

Presented by B.U.I.L.T. (Bringing Unity Into Lives Together), Unity in Action is our annual youth showcase created to provide young people with a positive platform to share their talents, creativity, leadership, and entrepreneurial gifts.

This year, through The Hidden Gem Experience, we’re expanding that mission by working directly with schools, community programs, recreation centers, foster-care organizations, group homes, behavioral support programs, and other organizations serving youth to help uncover talented young people who may not always have access to opportunities like this.

From music, dance, modeling and spoken word to entrepreneurship, visual arts, motivational speaking and more, we’re creating a room where every young person has an opportunity to shine.

Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 2:00 PM–6:00 PM

Admission is FREE and open to the community.

Donations are encouraged and help B.U.I.L.T. keep this experience accessible to youth and families while supporting the programs and opportunities we provide throughout the year.

Why Your Support Matters

Unity in Action is more than an event—it is one of the ways B.U.I.L.T. creates access, exposure, and opportunity for young people throughout our community.

This year, we made the decision to offer FREE admission and FREE youth participation so cost does not become a barrier for a young person or family who wants to be part of this experience.

Your donation helps us provide:

• A professional stage and showcase experience for youth

• Event production, sound, equipment, and venue expenses

• Awards and recognition for youth participants

• Youth entrepreneurship and creative opportunities

• Community resources and family engagement

• Outreach to schools, foster-care organizations, group homes, recreation centers, behavioral support programs, and other youth-serving organizations

• Marketing and promotion that gives young talent greater exposure

• Continued B.U.I.L.T. youth programs and opportunities beyond Unity in Action

Every contribution matters. Your support helps us create opportunities for young people to be seen, heard, supported, and celebrated while helping B.U.I.L.T. continue providing youth programs, creative experiences, mentorship, and community opportunities throughout the year.
