This year’s institute will focus on Transforming Our Communities through Civic Engagement.
Parenting Journey will facilitate a conversation with other inspired thought-partners to discuss what’s at stake for families at this critical time in our country.
Join professionals from across the Commonwealth from non-profits, government agencies, philanthropic foundations, and corporations who are not afraid to stand in unity for change and to confront systems in our society that disproportionately affect people of color, low-income families, and immigrants.
The program will include breakfast, a keynote speaker, and panel discussion moderated by Meghan Irons of the Boston Globe, and a State House News Service sponsored discussion.
