Throughout the year we offer Lunch and Learn events for anyone to learn more about our programming and commitments to the community.  Each event highlights a specific pedagogical principle from our community programs and the partnerships that make them so special and impactful. The effort of Lunch and Learn series is to raise awareness and funds for these programs. Take a look at past sessions below and stay tuned for more dates to be added. Unable to make an event?
