Everyone Is Welcome Here — Let’s Make It Real

Creating communities where everyone is welcome requires knowledge, skill, intention, and courage. It asks us not only to open doors, but to build systems, practices, and relationships that make belonging possible for all.

On January 24, 2026, we gather at JUMP in Boise for a day of connection, learning, and action-oriented conversation. Together, we will explore what it means to create environments—schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and civic spaces—where dignity is honored, differences are embraced, and every person has the opportunity to belong and thrive.

Through keynote addresses, interactive breakout sessions, and community-building experiences, participants will:

• Deepen their understanding of human rights and belonging

• Learn practical strategies for cultivating compassion and inclusion

• Strengthen skills for dialogue, empathy, and community leadership

• Connect with partners and peers committed to building welcoming communities

• Leave inspired and equipped to make “Everyone Is Welcome Here” a lived reality

We invite educators, nonprofit leaders, youth advocates, community builders, and civic organizations to submit proposals to lead breakout sessions. If your work helps foster belonging, strengthen community, or translate empathy into action, we want to learn from you.

Share your expertise. Grow your impact. Help shape a culture where welcome is more than a promise — it’s a practice.
