Southwest Butterflies Retreat

CSVANW held the Southwest Butterflies Retreat on June 14th & 15th, 2023 at the Santa Fe Indian School in Santa Fe, NM. The SWBR is a two-day event for Native youth who are aged 16-24 and who identify themselves as LGBTQ2+. The goal of the event was to provide community education, prevention, and awareness campaigns that increase the awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault within tribal communities. It was also our goal retreat that youth would feel supported, encouraged and reenergized while having fun in a safe space.
