HEYA Convening in Alamosa in Summer 2023

From July 24th to August 4th. 2023 HEART of Saguache facilitated the Health Equity Youth Alliance Convening in Alamosa in partnership with Move Mountains, Antonito Together, Transformative Alliances, Shooting Stars Cultural and Leadership Center, The Colorado Health Foundation, and Alpine Achievers. Young people from Saguache, San Luis, and Antonito came together every day for two weeks to learn tenets of health equity, build relationships, and discuss issues of importance to youth in the Valley. Many thanks to the participants, trainers, funders, and adult facilitators for their commitment to this program's first phases. Looking forward, the HEYA will spend fall meeting with decision makers throughout the San Luis Valley and learn about policy and advocacy work in their communities.
