Centering Youth in Movements
Setup
Youth are worthy of a future they can lead in creating. This discussion with youth leaders from the Navajo & Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund and the Center for Native American Youth will focus on the strength in prioritizing young people in creating change. We will discuss how to best support and advance existing practices that activate youth within movements. Through the power of story from leaders — Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii Community Center Director Shandiin Herrera, City of Chicago Neighborhood Services Coordinator Anthony Tamez, and Aspen Institute Trustee and Bezos Family Foundation co-founder Mike Bezos — this facilitated conversation will share best practices in creating a more equitable and just society that includes future generations.
