A Conversation about Community, Safety, Hope, & Action

This event is designed to spark meaningful change through conversation. We've created this Speaker Series to provide members of the community a platform to share their experiences via an open and honest environment.

The chosen Speakers will provide guidance & education on relevant issues impacting families & youth. The goal is to offer helpful tools/resources to participants, so they feel empowered to start having tough conversations at home that will help strengthen our communities.

Speaker content for this event will focus on providing:

• Guidance on how to safely handle a police encounter (youth focused)

• Insight as to why community/public safety requires a group effort to succeed

• Inspiration on how to take experiences of loss & turn them into actions that generate forward change
