We are excited to announce that CCYJ’s annual eQuality Convening is scheduled for June 21, 2022. Similar to last year, we will be meeting virtually, with hopes to return in-person next year. In addition to the Convening, we will be hosting two pre-convening Pride Learning Sessions, taking place on June 7th and June 14th. We welcome young people, youth-serving professionals, community partners, policy makers, and other stakeholders to attend. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet, learn, ask questions, and share experiences. We hope you will join us this summer! Details, including a registration link, are below. 

All the best,

The eQuality Team
