When September Ends: Community Engagement Summit
When September Ends is usually a festival where we uplift the voices, projects, and perspectives of people working to overcome homelessness while coming together to celebrate the progress we’re making toward ending homelessness.
This year, we’re switching it up a little.
On Saturday, September 26, we’re bringing our community together for a Community Engagement Summit focused on a big question:
How can community engagement help build our community’s capacity to respond to homelessness?
Together, we’ll explore the ways media, art, storytelling, workshops, education, advocacy, community organizing, lived experience, and other forms of engagement can help us build understanding, challenge assumptions, strengthen relationships, and create a community that is better equipped to respond to homelessness.
This is a conference-style event, but we don't want it to feel like a traditional conference. We want to create space for people to share ideas, learn from one another, ask difficult questions, make connections, and imagine what becomes possible when more people have meaningful opportunities to participate in the work.
Whether you have lived experience, create art or media, organize in your community, volunteer, lead a project, own a business, lead a church or faith community, serve as a community leader, or simply want to learn and contribute, we want you at the table.
Registration is required.
Space is limited, and we are intentionally working to bring together a diverse range of perspectives and experiences. Because of this, completing the registration form is only the first step. Please follow the instructions provided after registering to confirm your attendance so we know you are actually planning to join us.
There is no ticket or admission fee, but confirmed registration is required to attend.
Come ready to listen. Come ready to share. Come ready to imagine what our community could accomplish if we built our capacity to respond to homelessness together.
Let's switch it up this year.
Let's move beyond talking about community engagement and start imagining what it can make possible.
