Description

A Sankofa Sunday Mentored Experience for Girls and Women of Color This affinity space and mentored experience was curated especially for Girls and Women of Color. It includes a day filled with team-building, vision boarding, cultivating joy, and freedom dreaming! Whether making your 2022 vision board, participating in team-building activities with Origin staff, or trying a solo climb with a sistah friend, we'll have fun reminding ourselves that there are no limits to how high we can climb, especially if we remember to lift as we rise! Space is limited. Register today and come climb to new heights with the Code Switch fam' bam'! This year's event is also a fundraiser which is why we are opening it up to non-Code Switch team members 50% of your purchase price will be directed to our Youth Justice Fund. That means you get to enjoy a fun time climbing to new heights while supporting Code Switch girls as they do the same! So, even if you can not attend, please consider donating your ticket to someone else, and help our girls lead change for racial justice through youth-led programming! Code Switch is a 501c3 nonprofit. About the Youth Justice Fund The Youth Justice Fund is a newly established fund to be managed by our Youth Advisory Board. It will be used to support youth-led programming, including providing education mini-grants to Youth of Color in the Las Vegas area, establising a website run by girls to advocate for criminal justice reform, as well as supporting the launch of the Rose from Concrete Mentorship Program, a program that provides girls in elementary school with high school peer mentors. Peer mentors facilitate activities meant to help mentees develop a strong self-concept and positive outlook for their future. Mentorship activities will also include providing academic tutoring, life goal setting assistance, and opportunities to participate in mentored outings, like this one, along with community service projects. Support our fund and donate today! Disrupting Black Girl pushout, advocating for racial justice, and expanding pathways of healing and support through restorative justice practices for Girls of Color!
