in our tribe

In episode 17 of in our tribe we are joined by Jose Gonzalez, Founder of Latino Outdoors. During our time together Jose shared how Latino Outdoors is fulfilling a vision where all Latino communities enjoy nature as a safe, inclusive, and welcoming place- a world where the outdoors is a place to share and celebrate stories, knowledge, and culture, while growing leadership and an active community of Latino outdoor users, mentors, and stewards. Latino Outdoors has 19 chapters throughout the United States and growing fast. Listen in to see how you can get involved.

Have you ever went to a party and the DJ was so good that they took the people on an emotional musical journey that you will soon not forget? Similarly, have you ever gone to a training or learning community when the facilitator was so dynamic that they changed the course on how you do things and think about your field? Turns out that both the DJ and the facilitator tap into the same dynamics of human emotion to turn the party out, move the crowd, and learn out loud.

Consider Episode 15 (season two) of in our tribe a love letter to the community of North Highlands/Foothill Farms. Nestled in on the Northside of Sacramento County- North Highlands/Foothill Farms has often been overlooked by local government and seen as "just outside the lines" to participate as an active partner in regional youth development efforts. Gladly all of that seems to be changing and North Highlands/Foothill Farms is showing that they can turn a youth development party out given an opportunity and resources. Join us for a fun and passionate conversation with Crystal Harding and Paris Dye from The Black Child Legacy Campaign as they share how youth development and authentic youth voice/choice is alive and well on the North Side of Sacramento County.

In Season 2 Episode 14 in our tribe welcomes the superintendent of Galt Joint Union Elementary School District--the incomparable Mrs. Karen Schauer. Karen shares her insights on creating a strengths-based school district that pays attention to the engagement of its students and staff. We also touch on the lessons learned from The Galt Youth Master Plan and what's next for the wonderful City of Galt--a city that creates amazing places and spaces for youth to thrive and succeed. Tune-in to a superintendent that is a true leader and knows how to dream, design and disrupt.

In season two - episode 13 of in our tribe we sit down with Frank Pisi, Director of History-Social Science for Sacramento County Office of Education to discuss how the school subject of History has advanced in the last decade or so. It turns out that this isn't our grandmothers' history lessons anymore. In California History has become more engaging, equitable, and relevant. Enjoy our conversation with a true Youth Development Pioneer who is ensuring that all young people not only know history but also know their own story.
