Recordings from the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) 5th annual Indigenous Children, Youth, and Families (ICYF) conference are now available on the 2024 ICYF YouTube playlist! Check out these recordings and enjoy some really great content!
About 400 participants attended this year's 2-day virtual conference, including tribal partners, DCYF staff, and community members from across Washington state. This year’s theme – Achieving the Gold Standard: Tribal Champions and Best Practices – felt ever present as participants heard from speakers representing tribal communities and initiatives from across the United States. From food sovereignty to language revitalization to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Peoples (MMIWP) advocacy and beyond, it was a dynamic two days of learning.
We look forward to seeing you next year!
