Are you interested in identifying opportunities to create or improve policies, programs, and services for Seattle’s young people?
Mayor Durkan’s administration wants to find ways to connect youth with good jobs by creating a citywide strategy for youth, economic opportunity, and the future of work. We recently completed a nearly three-month research phase.
We are now hosting several public events in mid-September to share the stories we heard and for you to contribute your ideas on ways that the City of Seattle can better serve our young people. These events will be interactive and fun! If you are a young person or have a young person in your life that you care about – we want to hear from you!
Join us to:
- Share your career journey
- Cultivate a deeper understanding about youth and young adult experiences
- Learn about and use human-centered design to move from insights to opportunities
Let’s harness our collective wisdom to facilitate creative breakthroughs that will result in a set of ideas that will make a difference for Seattle’s residents.
No previous design or innovation experience is required. All you need is an optimistic mindset.
These are drop-in events. Plan to spend at least 30 minutes with us. Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP below. This list will be updated as events are added.
