WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

We have big challenges to tackle in our community. We know volunteering and civic engagement are good for individuals and the community. These challenges have been around for a long time and can feel overwhelming and hard to address and we know they are not being solved with money alone. Challenges like this require meaningful engagement from across the community if things are going to change in a sustained way. “Civic engagement confers a sense of empowerment, agency, and efficacy in oneself, others, and institutions. Taken together, this adds up to greater hope, health, and well-being” in a community.
