Civic Engagement Launchpad 2018: Work Day
At our Work Day event, teams will organize around the ideas presented during our Brainstorming Night.
Our Work Day event includes structured project design, opportunity discovery, and team collaboration workshops - so projects new and returning can maximize their time, energy, and impact. We are excited to again partner with the City of Philadelphia’s Innovation Management Corps to facilitate some of the Saturday and in-month workshops.
