How can joy, authenticity, and belonging become everyday practices that fuel us—from the inside?
Join us June 26th for a very special, joyful—and real—conversation with Shawna Rosenzweig, CEO of Camp Fire. Shawna is a transformative youth development leader who has dedicated her career to creating spaces where young people and their adult allies feel truly seen, supported, and empowered. We’ll be chatting about what it means to create fun, safe, intentional, and meaningful experiences that allow young people—and the adults who support them—to show up fully and authentically.
S'mores optional, good vibes required. Pull up a (virtual) log for a feel-good conversation you won’t want to miss!
