SPOKES: Youth Presence at Convention in Walla Walla



SPOKES is a new opportunity for Senior High teens in the diocese of Spokane to assist in the work of our diocesan convention.  Spokes refers to the spokes of a wheel hub; likewise the youth who serve with this team will assist with the social media presence and/or the church governmental work of convention.  

This year the convention for the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane will be celebrated in Walla Walla, Washington on October 17-19. 

Teens who are interested in the social media part of this opportunity should 

  • have some experience with social media (do you tweet or fb or instagram??).   
  • should show a willingness to interact with a variety of people and 
  • work with our leadership on our social media presence.  


Teens who have an interest in the organizational functioning of the Episcopal Church should consider being part of the team of ‘runners’ who will assist as needed with the convention processes.    

  • They should be able to move about easily and
  • follow organizational directions and 
  • have some interest in wider church life and/or parliamentary process.


SPOKES will also include social time (and other silliness) in between the work we are gathering to do.  The teens participating in SPOKES will be carefully supervised by adult leaders in the diocese.  (and...Walla Walla teens can be excused for the homecoming dance or game, but not both)

WE WILL HAVE LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE FOR SPOKES!  

If you know an interested teen please have them fill out this link as soon as possible! 

If you have any questions please contact janeg at stpaulsww.org .
