ANNUAL YOUTH SUMMIT
HOSTED BY SCOPE HEALTH COUNCIL
May 24, 2025
Earlier this month, Scope Health Council had the pleasure of hosting our annual Youth Summit, and what an inspiring event it was! We welcomed all the local 7th & 8th graders. One of the highlights of the day was a special appearance from the Martial Arts Institute of Socorro. Their talented students wowed everyone with impressive martial arts skills, demonstrating not only discipline and strength but also the power of focus and perseverance.
“We had a blast sharing martial arts at the 2025 Socorro Youth Summit! Inspiring day with amazing young leaders.
Big thanks to the SCOPE Health Council for creating such powerful opportunities for Youth in Our Community!!”

“We had an awesome time sharing martial arts with the 7th & 8th graders through a fun and high-energy Hapkido Chun Ki Do lesson and live demos!
One lucky student even won a $300 Gift Certificate and a brand-new MAIS uniform just for participating!
Huge thanks to our amazing team: Billy, Bill, Dominic, Cecil & Wyatt.
And to the wonderful parents and grandparents who also assisted and supported all of us!
Huge thanks to Jessica Trujillo-Torres for capturing such great moments from the event — we appreciate you!
You all represented MAIS with heart, teamwork, and martial arts spirit.
We’re so proud of you!”
