Youth Sitting in a Circle, Youth Programming, YWCA Olympia

Our Youth Action Circle is a consortium of young individuals who are dedicated to matters of social justice, knowledge acquisition, and community involvement.

Sessions are held every Monday from 4:30-6pm at the YWCA Olympia, located at 220 Union Avenue.

The opening of each gathering involves a check-in as well as a brief overview and contextual understanding of the social justice subject matter. Subsequently, an open dialogue is fostered, enabling collective learning from one another. By adhering to the YWCA's guiding principle of Eradicating Racism and Sexism, all conversations will be grounded in an intersectional, feminist, and anti-racist framework.
