2025 Conference Updates

For the 20th annual conference, we’re excited to introduce a refreshed approach, prioritizing local middle and high school students. By focusing on schools in our immediate area (Snohomish County), we can make meaningful connections that showcase the opportunities available at Everett Community College. Our goal is for student participants to gain insights into EvCC’s programs, connect with professionals of color who can provide mentorship and inspiration, and see clear pathways to career options that align with their ambitions. We want to ensure students leave with a solid understanding of how EvCC can be a valuable partner in their educational and career journeys after the conference.

While this year's focus is on local middle and high schools, we warmly invite other high schools from Western Washington to join our waitlist by emailing soccc@everettcc.edu
