Community Engagement and Education Speaker Series

2024-25

We 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 helped us explore what children may be processing about their social and emotional lives and identities, equipped us with the language we may need to better understand the complexity of our children’s lived experiences, and discussed ways we can better support them.
