National Crittenton invites proposals for a national gathering focused on healing, opportunity, and justice for girls and gender nonconforming young people.
The event will bring together young leaders, advocates, social service professionals, community-based organizations, and policymakers to strategize, share solutions, imagine new futures, and make connections between our spaces, issues, and approaches.
We invite proposals for one-hour Innovation in Motion sessions. Sessions can be interactive workshops, presentations, performances, film, panels, or other creative formats. Sessions led or co-led by girls, young women, or gender nonconforming youth will receive priority.
Innovation in Motion sessions are dynamic, interactive sessions that share exciting, creative models and ideas for programming, community organizing, communication, and policy reform from folks’ on-the-ground work in communities. Sessions can range from sharing successful campaign efforts to workshopping a new initiative or idea.
We invite proposals on many subjects and issue areas that reflect meaningful diversity with attention to race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexuality, disability, region, culture, and class.
At In Solidarity 2017, Innovation in Motion session presenters:
- Shared how a regional alliance of girls' organizations partnered with a school district to advance policy reforms identified by students;
- Discussed how they created a digital campaign to support and engage with young moms;
- Released a toolkit for administering community-based services to at-risk and systems-involved Latina youth;
- Used Theatre of the Oppressed in an interactive workshop designed to build sisterhood and common ground;
- And led more than a dozen other presentations and workshops
All proposals must be received by 5:00 pm PST on December 1, 2018. Proposals will be evaluated by a committee of individuals representing National Crittenton and Crittenton agencies across the country.
If accepted to participate, up to two individuals ages 25 and younger will receive free registration and up to two individuals ages 26 and older will receive a 50% discount on registration. All participants must provide their own travel and lodging.
