Cumbre de autocuidado juvenil

El día comienza con una increíble conferencia magistral de Jaime Stacy, fundador de SWAG, quien marca el tono y la intención del día.

Jaime es una líder solidaria en la comunidad de Spokane que se ha dedicado a defender el empoderamiento de nuestra juventud durante muchos años a través de su trabajo en el Distrito Escolar de Spokane y a través de su organización, BOTÍN. Le apasiona garantizar que todos los jóvenes con los que trabaja tengan un sentido de pertenencia y autoestima y estén equipados con las herramientas que necesitan para la autorregulación y una visión de su futuro. Conoce más sobre Jaime. 

Después del discurso de apertura, los jóvenes se trasladarán a uno de los tres espacios para su primer taller.

• Youth will have the opportunity to attend all three workshops.
• Los talleres involucran diferentes debates, actividades y temas que ayudarán a los jóvenes a identificar formas de cuidar de sí mismos.

Nuestros facilitadores de talleres provienen de diversos orígenes y enfoques. Han creado oportunidades únicas para que los jóvenes aprendan unos de otros, compartan sus experiencias, discutan diferentes herramientas de cuidado personal mientras se ríen y construyen una comunidad juntos.
