Every now and then, Crosscut likes to gather all you readers, thinkers and civic leaders together in the same (gasp) physical space. Why? To have a real-time, in-person conversation about the topics that we cover. This Thursday, we’ll be convening a panel of experts to discuss homeless youth.Crosscut’s Editor-in-Chief, Mary Bruno, will moderate the expert panelists, and together they’ll tackle this question: Why are certain groups of young people — like LGBT and African American youth — far more likely to to experience homelessness?Panelists include Shannon Perez-Darby, Youth Services Program Director at the Northwest Network; Eleta Wright, PRO Youth Case Manager at Auburn Youth Resources; Sara Rankin, Associate Professor of Lawyering Skills at Seattle University; and Megan Gibbard, Homeless Youth and Young Adult Project Manager on the Committee to End Homelessness in King County.We’ll see you there.
