Freshly Squeezed
...because everyone loves a juicy conversation
Watkinson School presents
We're Counting On Young People To Change The World
Tuesday, April 18th, 2023
Community Dinner 5:30pm • Panel Discussion 7:00-8:30pm
at Watkinson School, 180 Bloomfield Avenue, Hartford.
How often do you hear this undeserved burden laid on young people? Yet, something’s got to give — environmentally, economically, interpersonally — and young people will play an important part. What skills will be essential for them to lead, make change, and play the role they can to heal systemic issues? Who is helping them to develop these skills? Young people are powerful and perhaps the world’s greatest asset. Together, let’s examine what happens when organizations get serious about educating young people to be smart, have courage, and lead boldly, with heart.
