Next Generation Leadership for Black Child and Family Well-being
June 13 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm PDT
Join Child Trends for a 90-minute webinar on next generation leadership for Black child and family wellbeing.

Panelists include emerging leaders focused on a range of issues—including adolescent mental health, maternal and infant health, housing justice, and community development, organizing, and safety—who will discuss their efforts to create communities of promise and hope for Black children and families.
