Join US for an intergenerational Juneteenth workshop experience rooted in community care, history, and justice.

Our session will be split into two circles facilitated by consultants from OAAARS:

🧒🏽 Youth Circle (Ages 8–15):
Facilitators from OAAARS will guide young people through self-reflection, systems awareness, and justice-centered action — all grounded in the history of Juneteenth and our current social landscape.

👥 Adult Circle (Parents, Caregivers & Community Members):
This session explores Juneteenth’s legacy and how we show up for youth and each other through learning, reflection, and celebration. Build tangible micro-skills to strengthen your justice-based practice.
