May Meetup
We’re excited to host our last meetup of the school year!
Join us on Thursday, May 29th at ISCO in Providence from 5:30-7:30 pm, for an evening of connection, storytelling, and joy, explicitly designed for educators, teacher assistants, community leaders, and administrators who are committed to equity in education.
What to Expect:
This meetup is a safe and welcoming space where we can come together (no code-switching) to share experiences, reflect on our collective work, and celebrate the resilience and strength it takes to lead boldly in our roles. By building meaningful connections, we can stand united in our commitment to educational equity and strengthen our ability to continue this vital work.
Whether you're a teacher shaping young minds, an administrator leading systemic change, or a community leader dedicated to creating spaces that support all people, regardless of their backgrounds, your voice and presence are essential.
Food provided by Matilda's and cocktails by ISCO.
