🎉 Calling All BIPOC Youth! Join Us for the 4th Annual BIPOC Youth Summit: On Our Block 🎉
Are you ready to celebrate your identity, build community, and spark change? This fall, you’re invited to a powerful weekend made for you at the BIPOC Youth Summit, happening November 8th & 9th at YWCA Clark County in Vancouver!
What is the BIPOC Youth Summit?
Founded just for BIPOC youth, the Summit is your space to connect, grow, and embrace the power of joy in uncertain times. In a world that can feel overwhelming, this is your chance to find joy and community on your own terms—surrounded by peers and leaders who get you.
Our theme this year is ‘On Our Block’—a call to celebrate the richness of our cultures, traditions, and the joy we create together. Feel the energy. Share your story. Become part of a movement where your voice and happiness matter.
What Can You Expect?
Workshops led by BIPOC community leaders & youth—on social justice, personal growth, leadership, self-care, and more
A Block Party! Connect with new friends, play games, eat amazing food, dance, enjoy music, and win prizes!
Swag bags, resources, and interactive activities so you can take what you learn beyond the Summit
Space to process, learn, and have fun with youth who share your background and passions
Open conversations about mental, emotional, and community well-being
Why Should You Come?
This is your space: No codeswitching. No explaining. Just you and others who understand your experiences.
Bring your full self: Whether you want to lead, learn, heal, or hang out, there's a place for you on our block.
Be inspired by powerful keynote speakers and get involved in shaping your community’s future.
Who’s Invited? BIPOC youth ages 13–18 across the county. We want at least a third of our workshops led by youth like you—so if you have a story, talent, or idea to share, this is your chance!
