Class 8 Alum launches Project Kinect, a social change firm that assists people and organizations in creating the positive social change they wish to see. Project Kinect will be officially launching in Madison, WI Monday, February 23rd. The week will be filled with events, Meet Ups, and community engagement activities. The culmination of the week will be the first annual Social Change Forum that will be held Thursday, February 26th, at the Goodman Community Foundation.
The Social Change Forum’s theme this year is ‘Using Privilege to Become More Inclusive’. The goal is to better develop advocacy skills to make room for everyone’s voice and bring a more inclusive community to the table when planning and developing. This one-day event will bring together interested parties in Madison to openly discuss and articulate how we can empower people region-wide, thus creating the most impactful community possible.
