Hello, my name is Saunders Young Bird

I am the Youth Coordinator here at Wozu!

As your Youth Coordinator I’m excited to share some updates, reflections, and upcoming opportunities that highlight the incredible energy and potential of our youth community. Whether you’re a young person seeking connection and purpose, a parent looking for ways to support your teen, or a community member who cares about the future, this space is for you.

Over the summer, we’ve witnessed some truly inspiring moments. Our youth programs were a tremendous success, with over 300 plus participants across different age groups. From buffalo butchering and fishing fundamentals to cooking and off-road bike rides, our young people showed up with enthusiasm, talent, and a strong sense of community.

Our goal is to continue creating spaces where every young person feels seen, heard, and supported. Every day, I’m inspired by the creativity, courage, and compassion of the youth I get to work with. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you during this critical time in your life whether you’re discovering who you are, navigating challenges, or dreaming big about your future. If you’re interested in signing up or learning more about future events, visit our department website or contact me directly.
