My Dream, My Journey (MDMJ) Conference / Mi Sueño, Mi Camino Migrant-Inclusive Youth Conference seeks to re-center wellness via a culturally responsive epistemology. With this event, Migrant Education staff from across western Washington will create a space for migrant youth to look within as well as outwards and ask important questions about identity and relationships within our community and society.

Who should attend?

• Migrant Students in Grades 6-12 & Migrant Out-of-School Youth

• This is a two-day, virtual conference opportunity for migrant-identified youth from school districts across western Washington State

• If you reside within a school district that participates in the Migrant Education Program (MEP), please coordinate with your district’s Migrant Education staff to enroll student participants

• If you are an MEP district and are interested in learning who your migrant students are please contact Enrique Lopez

• If you do not have a Migrant Education Program in your school district, please reach out to any member of the NWESD Migrant Services team

In our FuturesNW workshop breakout session, we will tour statewide, Whatcom, and Skagit county resources to help you decide which path after high school is right for you (and how to get free money for college). After a resources tour, you’ll have an opportunity to connect with and ask questions of current college students and reps from Bellingham Technical College, Heritage University, Northwest Indian College, Skagit Valley College, Western Washington University and Whatcom Community College.
