Celebrating Roots
Share
A Seattle based 501(c)3 led by 1st gen refugee & immigrant women serving refugee & immigrant youth.
Celebrating Roots is a youth focused grassroots organization promoting youth-led community healing through the creation of a culture of celebration and creative self-expression. Celebrating Roots seeks to engage youth from marginalized and refugee/immigrant backgrounds to create positive social change in their neighborhoods. We empower youth to do so through mentoring and culturally relevant, project-based, creative programming. Using a youth-led model of engagement, youth participants and their mentors strategically plan and host a multitude of community gatherings, festivals and community building events to cultivate a culture of celebration and camaraderie among the diverse community members. Through our projects and programs, youth participants work collaboratively to celebrate each other and co-create more vibrant neighborhoods while developing the essential civic, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills required to affect positive social change.

As you can see, things got REAL during YCB Capture the Flag 😂🚩
Our youth brought the competition, but more importantly, they brought the teamwork! They worked together to create strategies, communicate, and support their teams.
Great sportsmanship, teamwork, and serious competition made for a FUNTASTIC day!

At YCB, we held a happiness painting activity workshop where youth got creative and painted what makes them happy. 🎨
Some painted sunsets and flowers, others their favorite anime characters, and even about the feeling they get being at YCB! 💛
Every canvas told its own story, and it was great seeing everyone express themselves through art.
