Welcome to the Speakers Bureau

The Kitsap Strong Speakers Bureau connects local organizations with knowledgeable, community-minded speakers who can bring meaningful conversations and practical tools to their audiences. Whether you’re planning a staff training, community event, or professional gathering, the Bureau helps make it easier to find the right voice for the conversation.

Our shared learning model is a community-based approach designed to spark shifts in our community culture where we see the whole-person and respond with trauma-informed, equitable and hope-centered practices.


Science shows that by focusing on building hope and resiliency across the life-span, we can improve community well-being. We collaborate to learn, take bold actions, and hold each other accountable to ensuring our services align with the principals of trauma-informed care, promoting safety and well-being to help all people flourish.
