We are excited to announce the return of Y-WE Alumni programs! This winter we are kicking off a new six-week virtual cohort: Life Hacks! This series will be all about life hacks for thriving under the stressors of university, working under capitalism, and the constant pressures to figure everything out. Whether you want to shake up your financial life, get into international travel, or are just trying to thrive in PWI institutions and work environments this cohort will center how we thrive through values identification, intergenerational knowledge sharing, and the creation of life hacks to support your visions of your future.

BIPOC Girls/NB Wellness
2022-06-02 18:00 - 20:00 | WA
Join Therapist Rian Roberson on the first Thursday of the month all summer for a wellness drop in session. This is a place for Black girls and gender expansive folks to explore mental health practices and connect with one another in a supportive community. Talking about mental health is no longer taboo — it is essential, especially for those who experience multiple areas of marginalization. We are creating an intentional space for participants to talk about mental health, share experience, ask questions, gather resources, and be heard and held by similar others, moderated by a Black, queer mental health counselor.

Nature Connections
2022-04-09 | WA
Experience the power of Nature as sanctuary and teacher while exploring the Shores, Trails, Lakes, Rivers and Mountains of our northwest home. Through activities such as hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, camping, biking and gardening we will learn how to deepen our relationship with nature and ourselves. By engaging with and learning about these unique and expansive outdoor spaces, we will practice connecting deeply with ourselves, each other, and our plant and animal neighbors. We will also learn how we can all be responsible stewards of our natural systems, engage in environmental justice topics, and learn about local ecology. On weekdays, we’ll explore local parks, while most weekends, we will venture further into wild spaces, such as Washington State Parks, with a couple of camping trips mixed in!
All of our trips are designed to be accessible without any previous experience and will help participants build the skills to be successful and safe in the outdoors.
We are limited to 12 spots and are centering youth who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+. All are welcome to apply.
Applications are currently open. Click here to apply!
Applications received before March 18 will be prioritized.
