Kitsap Youth Forum

From substance use to climate change, from mental health to homelessness, from community safety to racial equity, youth voice can make a difference.

The Kitsap County Commission on Children & Youth and Kitsap Public Health District are co-hosting a forum on October 20th from 4:30pm - 6:30pm so youth have a platform to freely talk about these ideas with the people making and passing policies in Kitsap County.

In addition to registering for the day of the forum, we are offering two youth voice training sessions. If you're between 12-20 and want to participate in the forum, please register for one of the training sessions listed below:

Tuesday, September 27th from 4:30-6pm (Register Here) OR

Wednesday, October 5th from 4:30-6pm (Register Here)

For more information or if you have questions about the forum event, please email youthforum@kitsappublichealth.org.
