About The Moment of Obligation Workshop
Those who tackle our biggest social and environmental problems often remember a Moment of Obligation - a moment, event, or period of time in their lives that compelled them to act and ignited their commitment to a certain issue. Participants in this workshop will engage in facilitated discussion, self-discovery activities, and small group conversations to help them identify their moments of obligation and explore the problems they are driven to address.
What you need to know:
- POTLUCK: Bring a commercially-prepared snack to share! (Due to venue restrictions we cannot bring in home made food.)
- We will be networking and snacking from 5:30 - 6:00 pm.
- The workshop will begin promptly at 6:00 pm.
This session is part of Echoing Green's Work on Purpose curriculum. This curriculum is designed to inspire and equip those in the first decade of their careers to realize their unique way to make a social impact.
