The Youth Diversity Committee of the Olympia School District is hosting a youth forum at the Washington Center on the evening of May 29th at 7:00p.m. The forum is going to celebrate how Olympia is already an inclusive community and what further steps need to be taken in order to ensure that all members of the community continue to feel that sense of inclusion.

The event on the 29th is going to be a combination of spoken word, music, and visual presentations - all created and presented by students.
