HOME FOR ACTIVISM 2025: HOMECOMING
For the first time ever, we’re merging our Alumni Week programming with our signature Home for Activism event to create Home for Activism: Homecoming—a three-day virtual and in-person celebration by and for SNLP alumni.
We are thrilled to invite you to the culminating event of this celebration: Home for Activism: Homecoming on January 16, 2025, at 6 PM at the Salesforce Tower! This free alumni event celebrates over 10,000 SNLP alums with food, light refreshments, free professional headshots, an alumni panel, and dancing. Wear your best homecoming attire and reconnect with the Sadie Nash community. Space is limited—register below to secure your spot!
“At Sadie Nash, home represents a soft place to land, where young people can join our programs and safely be in community and become their own selves. And to find home, we must create it.”
- Tené Howard, Executive Director
Inspired by bell hook’s Homeplace: A Site of Resistance, the concept of “home” is described as a space where one can flourish and become the subject in one’s own life rather than an object for someone else. For two decades, Sadie Nash has been a home for the radical work of gender and racial justice, creating a container for the brilliance and dynamism of young people.
We provide opportunities for young people to step into their confidence and purpose, encouraging them to experiment and evolve into the best version of themselves. In November of 2022, we held our first Home for Activism event featuring a conversation between ELLA alums, Rana Abdelhamid and Imani Maliti, and moderated by Sadie Nash alum Jenna Caldwell. In November of 2023, we launched our Alumni Council and it included a panel of alumni Talia Scott, Najah Aldridge, and Nicolas Cortez, moderated by Rasha Kadir.
