Hello Community!
Happy Sunday. Once again - I know I’m am the worst at regular updates. As it with most of us with grassroots advocacy blood - I tend to hyper focus on achieving and accomplishing the work before talking about the work. Yet trophies are being won as we speak in different ways. I want to share with you all these pictures from the previous Contra Costa Together Summit back in April. I have been serving on the Stewardship Team with CACHI since the beginning and was asked to facilitate the discussion on youth engagement strategies. I made it a priority to share the stage with my students as co- speakers and fellow experts - so they can take this tangible experience with them to build thier professional skill sets, portfolio, and resumes and give them footing to continue climbing upwards. They were really nervous, but they showed up anyways and pulled through. We had a great circle of people who were really engaged and it was evident everyone who chose this circle was very passionate about the well being of youth.
Stay tuned - more post to come from the last year
