Celebrating Local Leaders & Connecting with Future Change-Makers, March 30

March 9, 2021

Join UP’s I Am Psyched PDX, psychological sciences, social work, and the Career Center to celebrate local organizations serving QT/BIPOC communities working towards social justice and equitable practices in Oregon. The event will take place on Tuesday, March 30 from 6:30 – 8 p.m. Learn more about the amazing ways they are serving our community, and the career paths that got them there. Find out about upcoming volunteer, internship, and/or job opportunities so you can be among the next generation of leaders and change-makers in Portland. We will start with a panel of five local leaders telling us about their organizations, their accomplishments and challenges, and move on to small groups where you can ask questions of individual leaders.

Please register ahead of time on AirMeet.
