Our target is to have 35 students and 6 teachers join us for this four-day program. The first half of the Youth Summit will take place in the Yakima Valley where we’ll visit cultural and historic sites focusing on their significance to the Hispanic and Latino community. The second half of the program will take place at Mount Rainier National Park where we’ll participate in a community service project, have the opportunity to hike and explore the natural environment, and engage in recreational activities and interpretive natural history programs. The program promises to be informa- tional, educational, but, more than anything, fun, with plenty of activi- ties to keep the participants engaged and enthused. The program will conclude with a Town Hall meet- ing where students will share with national, regional, state and local leaders and elected officials findings and recommendations that address two core questions: (1) What would draw more Hispanic families to enjoy Mount Rainier National Park? and (2) How could the Yakima Valley share the story of Latino history with heritage travelers?

As you will see in the qualifications outlined herein, our project team is uniquely qualified for this scope of work. Comprised of three professional architectural historians with a combined half-century of experience, the Preservation Solutions consulting team has extensive experience in the identification, evaluation, planning, protection, and successful nomination of cultural properties, totaling well over 23,000 resources documented nationwide. Each team member’s experience not only exceeds the qualifications for historic preservation professionals outlined by the National Park Service, but includes demonstrated familiarity with comparable studies of mid-century resources combined with public engagement and planning components. You will find this combination of skills and experience will be an asset to the project and ensures documentation of mid-century Spokane and recommendations for its future preservation will rely on the judgment of professionals trained in all National Register criteria. Furthermore, we are proud to offer two public meetings and four options of additional deliverables from which the City/County can choose. In our experience working with communities of all sizes in various states, we have found preservation works best when it is tailored to unique local conditions and perspectives.
