We are excited to announce CCYJ’s annual eQuality Convening on June 21, 2022!

Similar to last year, we will be meeting virtually, with hopes to return in-person next year. In addition to the Convening, we will be hosting two pre-convening Pride Learning Sessions, taking place on June 7th and June 14th.
