As a publicly funded nonprofit that relies on community support, we hold fundraising events to support our programs. Our programs reach youth through many different ways. The photo above is of youth and administrators from various youth programs in the Pacific Northwest who have incorporated Teen Talking Circles into their activities, school days, after-school programs, wilderness programs, mentorship programs, yoga studios, and more. We are grateful to the organizations that welcome us as partners in youth development! Additionally, we hold several outreach events throughout the year. If you would like to host a fundraising event or a small home gathering to share our work with your friends & family, please reach out to us here. And the best part is: You can still support our mission and programs by making a donation!
Your support means everything to us!
