Mayor McGinn's Youth and Family Initiative Open Meeting

Youth and Family Initiative
Mayor Mike McGinn invites you to participate in the Youth and Families Initiative, a major initiative announced during his inaugural address. The children and families of our city are facing many difficult challenges.   As a community, we need to talk about what we want for our kids and how best to create a healthy and positive environment for families.  Let’s start a discussion together and come up with a plan that works.

Please join us in attending one of five workshops, where trained facilitators will lead participants through the beginnings of this group discussion; also, if you’re interested in volunteering with the Initiative, please contact Sol Villarreal at sol.villarreal@seattle.gov or 206-233-2656.

The five venues and dates will be:
February 22 – Rainier Community Center  7:00-8:30 p.m.
March 1 – Northgate Elementary School  7:00-8:30 p.m.
March 8 – Van Asselt Elementary School  7:00-8:30 p.m.
March 15 – Denny Middle School  7:00-8:30 p.m.
March 22 – Garfield Community Center  7:00-8:30 p.m.

Childcare and light refreshments will be provided at each meeting, and if English is not your primary language and you would like translation or interpretation assistance, please notify the Mayor’s Office at 684-4000 so we can work to provide the best resources available.

It is only together that we can solve the deep, complex problem of how to create an equitable community for our great city’s youth and families.  There is no one solution, no one program or person who can point our neighborhoods in the right direction.

We ask that you join us at the beginning of this discussion so that we may all work together toward the common goal of a stronger community.

Sincerely,
Office of Mayor Mike McGinn
