We enjoyed seeing many of you at our Storytelling for Social Change event in March (photos on our Facebook page) and at our Change Makers Happy Hour this month. Make sure to stay in touch and let us know if you or your company/business/start-up/etc. is hosting something that is relevant to the Be Social Change community.
We are always happy to receive feedback from the community and encourage you to let us know if there are any event topics or speakers you'd love to see Be Social Change host. We will also be sending out an open call for volunteers who are passionate about the mission of Be Social Change and would like to become more involved with the community on a project-by-project and event-by-event basis.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon!
