Mission: To foster an inclusive space that honors everyone, shared network and resources, and build unity of the Hmong community, driven by a shared movement of building a just society.
Vision: To foster a holistic space of learning and sharing that is inclusive, representative, and intentional on uplifting the multi-faceted strands of the Hmong community; including, but not limited to education, non-profit, sports, youth, elders, and more. Hmongness has never been a homogenous identity. To be Hmong, is to embrace that this indigenous identity is built upon the strength of diversity, the foundations of intergenerational knowledge, and the synergy of resilience. It is even more vital now than ever before to foster this space of togetherness now that Hmong has been in the United States for 50 years (in 2025), and no longer divided by villages, borders, nor countries.
What to expect:
Saturday: A pioneering summit where attendees of muiti-faceted sectors reflect, learn, and collaborate with seaosoned facilitators in a co-created space. Breakfast and lunch are included with registeration.
Sunday: Healing the Divide - Fostering Authentic Connections for True Community and Open Communication, facilitated by Annie Lee of Seeds4Hope. Join us for day 2 in a transformative community circle where we cultivate belonging, engage in courageous conversations, and strengthen connections through deep listening and shared experiences to heal together. Brunch is included with registration.
