Our mission at Youth Development Executive of King County was to connect, strengthen, and amplify youth-serving organizations so that all Black, Indigenous, and youth of color thrive. I provided strategic planning, project management, facilitation, and leadership to YDEKC’s engagement and learning events and programs for members and partners, including cross-sector collaboration initiatives in King County. Our learning activities focused on supporting leaders to build their own capacity by focusing on relationships and learning in community with peers, sharing from experience and gaining support from others doing similar work with a focus on racial equity and supporting individual and organizational leadership development and capacity building.Examples of what this looked like include: Ensuring member-leadership through facilitation of YDEKC’s Equity & Engagement Program Committee including recruitment, retention, meeting coordination, and facilitation to support in-depth planning for YDEKC’s core learning events and programs; Leading design process and provide project management for programs including large learning events such as the Thriving Leaders series and the School's Out Washington Bridge Conference;Creating opportunities to influence system leaders in the K-12 sector to develop partnerships with Community Based Organizations in support of youth of color; Designing and hosting events for system leaders and practitioners from the youth development and education sectors to learn from one another and explore effective practices; Strengthening regional capacity to build and sustain partnerships within and across sectors, through the creation and promotion of accessible resources such as YDEKC’s School-Community Partnership Toolkit and curriculum.
