Wondering how to put social capital to work in your neighborhoods, schools, programs, or communities?
Vote for the proposed SXSW panel “Careers Without Ladders: Use Social Capital to Step Up.”
Our Managing Director, Justin Harlan, will be joined by three leaders building social capital in their cities to explore how social capital can change the trajectory of our job market.
They’ll share real-world models of cities, programs, and neighborhoods using social capital as a core strategy to boost economic mobility, plus practical methods you can adapt to facilitate connection in your own community.
Help us get this panel to SXSW! Submit your vote by August 23:
