Saturday, May 10 from 12:55 - 1:55 pm

This year we are excited to create space for our alumni to connect and with other cohorts across their region! On Saturday, May 10th from 1–2 PM, alumni will gather by city/region to begin shaping the vision for their local movement work. Together, you'll explore what collective impact could look like in your community and why it matters to be part of a broader national movement. 

These are 60-minute sessions that will be held in the form of a Soul Circle, providing space for authentic dialogue, connection, and collaboration. All regional breakout session has team lead who has worked to curate energy, vision, and grounding that will set the tone for powerful connection and movement-building across each region.
