Finding Your Place in the Social Change Ecosystem
Are you curious about or invested in social changemaking and want to figure out where you fit in these spaces?

This 3-session community will introduce you to social change as a framework for transforming the world, help you reflect on and determine your role(s) in the ecosystem, and provide an onramp to deepening your leadership practice.
