It’s official – the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network is now the Empower Youth Network!  The unveiling of our new name came during the Heart of the Valley Gala virtual event on February 27, 2021, where this announcement video was shared.

While the name is different, our mission is the same: to promote and inspire youth to lead safe, healthy and successful lives.  We changed our name to better reflect this mission and to be more memorable across the community we serve.

This was no small decision – it was made over a year-long process with input from staff, board members, community stakeholders and youth.  If you were among those that helped us along the way, thank you!

Natural Resilience: Moving from Covid Response to Community Flourishing with Kody Russell

“Nurturing yourself is not selfish, it’s essential to your survival and your wellbeing.” – Renee Patterson Trudeau

 

Tending to our social and emotional wellbeing is essential, especially today. But it’s not always easy to do. Stress can take a toll on our brain, our mind, and our body. Especially when we are under constant stressful situations. The good news is there are small, but impactful things we can do each day to help our mind and body process the stress and bring ourselves back to a sense of wholeness and peace. When we are aware of where stress rests in our mind and body, we can then bring ourselves back online.

Learn how to regulate your mind and body through breathing, mindful meditation, and connection practices to bring you back to a sense of wholeness and peace. This workshop is for adults.

This workshop is being offered on two separate dates: Thu, 2/4 and Thu, 2/18 from 6:30-8:00PM

Please choose the date you wish to attend and the corresponding registration link.

Snoqualmie Valley Key Leaders meet at a moment of historical importance this year. As our region responds to a global pandemic, stay at home orders, a Greater Recession, and civil unrest, it is incumbent on those in positions of authority and influence to determine how to provide compassionate direction to the communities we lead. One way to make sense of so much disruption and change is to select a single lens through which to examine the whole. At Key Leaders Summit 2020, we will pick up the lens of racial equity to diagnose the situation the Valley is in today and develop a prescription for next steps.

Join us to learn more about:

• What is racial equity and why would it matter in a place like Snoqualmie Valley?
• What are the ways we perpetuate racism without knowing it?
• How do our views about racial equity affect the ways we lead in the other areas of our lives?
• What can I do to make a difference at this historic moment?
