Our speaker will be Jason McGill who is the Executive Director of Northwest Youth Services. He is a career social services professional who brings deep knowledge of working with young people experiencing homelessness. He is a community advocate who is rooted in Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion work. Jason will be speaking on the efforts of his organization to help our community end youth and young adult homelessness.

He became involved in efforts to address these issues after working many years in a behavioral health hospital setting and witnessing the revolving door to treatment with many patients who identified as experiencing homelessness. When asked if systems can be reformed his response has been and continues to be, "I believe that we could cultivate a community that is transformative, if we worked as a collective." His passion for his work and his dedication to getting all our youth and young adults into stable housing is infectious. We will learn how we can help this work to provide young people with a place from which they can work to achieve their goals and successfully transition into healthy adults.

There will be time for a few questions.
