Imagine walking into a room where care, activism, and connection all come together and YOU get to shape what happens. That’s what this event is all about.
This session is built around YOU! Before the event, high schoolers will fill out a Google form in the registration form to share what you want to learn — whether that’s how to get involved in activism, how to connect with a specific community, or how to use your skills (like art, fundraising, or organizing) to support others.
At the event, you’ll dive into the what, why, and how of community care, then put it into practice by building community care kits that will go directly to people in Denver who need them.
By the end of the workshop, you will:
Understand the difference between self-care and community care
Recognize the many ways to get involved with activism and organizing
See how their own strengths and skills can directly support othersFeel valued, connected, and empowered to step into their own power
Your perspective matters. Add it to the room by registering before November 3, 2025.
Meet the Storyteller
Huệ Helen Nguyễn
Huệ Helen Nguyễn (she/her) is a Vietnamese American Caregiver of Plants and People and is part of the team at The Abolition Garden, a space rooted in care, connection, and liberation. She believes it is vital for AANHPI youth to have spaces where they feel represented, loved as they are, and free to grow into their most authentic selves. This is why Asian Girls Ignite’s mission resonates so deeply with her.
Helen identifies as the daughter of immigrants and a caregiver to both plants and people. She finds joy in sharing meals with loved ones, spending time outdoors, making bouquets, and practicing mutual aid. A food that feels like home to her is a Vietnamese wrapped dumpling made by her parents and grandparents, bundled in banana leaves and wrapped in love.
