Shane Endicott of ReBuilding Center speaks on Wed. 9/8

Hear from Shane Endicott, founder of Our United Villages/ReBuilding Center, when he talks about youth and social change at the Springboard Social Innovation Forum. We will explore the role youth can play in designing and leading the future. Social entrepreneurs are providing a new kind of role model for "entrepreneurship" and programs are beginning to spring up that shift the kinds of opportunities for youth from shadowing or volunteer service projects to real ventures that change lives. Join us as we look at existing programs and discuss how to better engage the young.

Speakers include: - Shane Endicott, ED, Our United Villages/ReBuilding Center - Laura Bulinski, Educator, Jefferson High School - Jen Stone, Educator, L.E.P. High Facilitated by Warren Karmol
