Community Engagement and Education Speaker Series
2024-25
We have invited the following guests to talk with our community during the 2024-25 year about conditions and stages of development that shape children’s growth. These speakers will explore what children may be processing about their social and emotional lives and identities, equip us with the language we may need to better understand the complexity of our children’s lived experiences, and discuss ways we can better support them. Please watch your inbox for event invitations. Closed captioning will be available.
