Meet the Panel

Chloe Bolz (she/they)

Moderator

Chloe is the prevention specialist at YWCA Spokane. Chloe educates youth on healthy relationships and strategies to prevent teen dating abuse, equipping individuals with tools to break cycles of violence. 

Chloe understands that youth come to these conversations with a variety of life experiences related to relationship violence. They aim to meet students where they are at, encouraging youth to open up and share questions and experiences so the whole group can deeply engage in conversations to build healthy relationship skills. Dedicated to inspiring collective action, Chloe normalizes conversations about respectful relationships while empowering Spokane’s youth to build safer, healthier communities.

In their free time, Chloe can be found reading, painting, and cuddling with their cat, Monkey.
