Description

Safe Place for Youth invites you to participate in our Second Annual Youth Summit on Systems Change: “Manifesting New Realities Through Community Empowerment” which prioritizes community knowledge sharing and practical skill building. Recognizing that not all young people have equal access to resources or the opportunity to harness their inner power, we are coming together to collaborate and learn how we as a community can re-evaluate the systems already in place to generate more accessible pathways to activism and healing centered praxis. We want to strengthen youth connections to agency, bring awareness to equitable measures, and foster solutions to support the holistic experiences of systems-involved youth. "Without community, there is no liberation"- Audre Lorde As a community, we can address the systems and their impacts to foster new realities and a more equitable future for our systems-involved youth and the community. This is a community event, all are welcome. The event will offer a keynote speaker, panel discussions and break out sessions. More information coming soon! We hope you can join us!
