Events, Conferences & Retreats

This year, The Diversity Center's School & Youth Events will center on the use of storytelling as a tool for understanding self-identity and community.  Stories, whether written, oral, or visual, transcend cultural boundaries and have the potential to lead young people into a powerful space of discovery.
