Intergenerational Community Organizing: Youth-Led, Adult Staff and & Volunteer Supported
As a volunteer-run organization with an anti-oppression framework, PEEL works differently than a lot of traditional youth programs.
Our staff team are 100% volunteer and include adult community members who serve the Tacoma area as teachers, youth advocates, school resource support, teen librarians and more in their day jobs, and support PEEL youth programming in their lives beyond.
Our adult staff team work collectively with PEEL youth leaders in planning meetings, organizing events, and leading trainings on trauma-informed topics both within the group and at area youth programs. We host a monthly PEEL Planning Session, which includes both youth leaders and volunteer staff to ensure programming is as youth-centered as possible.
