Global Activism: Student Startups

WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.

One of the biggest trends in service work is students starting their own non-profit organizations and following their passion to make a positive impact. Join Jerome McDonnell and Worldview for an exploration of some of these groups, the work they do and the models they use. We’ll host discussions, meet the activists and maybe inspire you to get involved.

Confirmed attendees include:

Asha for Education

Basic Transfer

Following the meetup portion of the evening, Jerome will host a panel discussion about these organizations featuring experts Andrew Bauer (Pangea Educational Development), Tricia Martinez (Basic Transfer) and Jason Savsani (Meal Sharing).

After the panel, we’ll celebrate with performances by local musical acts Kate Quinby and Radiant Devices.
