Policies for a Pivotal Era
a nonprofit policy webinar series
March 9 - 11, 2021

It’s a challenging world for nonprofits and the communities we serve. COVID-19 and shelter-in-place have deeply exacerbated our community's greatest inequities and problems.

 

As we navigate the new decade, SVCN invites you to our Activate Your Impact Policy Summit. Together, we will discuss and reimagine how public policy can be wielded as a change agent for racial equity and collective healing.

 

Pivotal eras demand pivotal policies.

 

Designed for those who challenge the status quo, #AYI21 will equip nonprofit advocates in your work to fight for equity and thriving communities. By joining us, you will immerse yourself in an environment that brings change agents together to learn and collaborate towards amplifying our collective voice.

​

We're offering this summit as a six-part series of live webinars from March 9 - 11, at 11am and  2pm each day.
