Opening Keynote

The day opens with an amazing keynote from Jaime Stacy, Founder of SWAG, who sets the tone and intention for the day.

Jaime is a caring leader in the Spokane community who has been dedicated to championing the empowerment of our youth for many years through her work in the Spokane School District and through her organization, SWAG. She is passionate about ensuring every youth she works with feels a sense of belonging and self-worth and is equipped with the tools they need for self-regulation and a vision for their future. Learn more about Jaime. 

Facilitators and Workshops

After the keynote, youth will move into one of three spaces for their first workshop.

Workshops

  • There is three different workshops for this event
  • Youth will have the opportunity to attend all three
  • Workshops engage in different discussions, activities and topics that will support youth in identifying ways to care for themselves.

Our workshop facilitators come from various backgrounds and focuses. They have created unique opportunities for youth to learn from each other, share their experiences, discuss different self-care tools all while laughing and building community together. 

Departing

To end the summit, youth will come back together to debrief their takeaways and highlights of the day. Youth will also walk away with:

  • new skills for self-care
