​(All are Welcome!)
Dear Friends,
Please join Whiteswan Environmental (WE) and WWU Community Engagement Fellows as we co-convene a Winter 2023 Community Engagement Fellows Cohort. This 6-week series focuses on developing partnerships and bridge-building to help us all better serve our community, our region, and the planet.
Please join The NXT Gen cohort emphasizing partnerships that enrich Indigenous networks and Indigenous/non-Indigenous bridge-building. The sessions offer a chance to share ideas and find support within your community.
Our session prompts will be based on this cohort’s theme: The Salmon People are Worth Saving. We are all Salmon People indigenous to Mother Earth and Salmon People know no borders.
Cohorts will meet weekly for 6 weeks, starting the week of January 20th, 2023 at 1:00 to 3:00 pm PST at Northwest Indian College in Building 15 in the first room to the left. We will have hybrid options for cohort members and limited in-person space.  Due to Lummi Nation Public Health policies, masks are encouraged. Members should plan to attend all 6 cohort sessions. 
The program is free, we have snacks and warm drinks, and it is open to anyone; many people have found it very valuable
Please send your questions to co-conveners Travis Tennessen, travis.tennessen@wwu.edu or Sadie Olsen, sadie.olsen.we@gmail.com for more about the program.

Thank you,
WE Team
