Social Innovation Forum
The pandemic was difficult for all of us, and especially for young people who have faced disruptions impacting their learning and social emotional wellbeing. Join the Social Innovation Forum for a learning session that brings funders and nonprofit staff together for conversation about the challenges young people are facing, how nonprofits are working to support them, and what funders can do to partner in this work. The event will consist of an interactive panel discussion, small group conversation, and time for networking.
Panelists
Michael Christian, Board President, Someone Else’s Child
Carolina De Jesus, CEO, Boston Higher Education Resource Center
Lenward Gatison, Assistant Director, Young Man with a Plan
Karen Pfefferle, Executive Director, Wellington Management Foundation
