North Davis Project Illumination's purpose is to host an annual event called Illumination - a free community event that focuses on what we can do daily to support and improve our mental health and well-being. Youth groups from our community teach their peers different topics that support our mental health in a fun and interactive way. A key message of Illumination is that we all have a "spark" inside of us - that thing that gives our life meaning and purpose. When our youth find their spark, nurture it, and are allowed to let it grow they have higher grades and better attendance in school, are more likely to be socially competent, volunteer more in helping others, have a sense of purpose in their life, and are less likely to experience depressive symptoms.

Illumination 2024

Illumination 2024 was held on September 7, 2024 at Founder's Park in Syracuse, UT. It was an amazing event with activity booths teaching us what we can do daily to support our mental health, resource booths to make us aware of what is available in our community when we need help, amazing entertainment by EJ Michels, a fantastic keynote address by Brandon Sulser, which you can watch below, and of course an excellent fireworks display!
