Join us for a reading, discussion and book signing for Catherine Alonzo's "The Changemaker's Toolkit."
Burnout. Decreased funding. Structural barriers. A lack of hope. Social changemakers and non-profit leaders who want to make a meaningful impact in their communities are struggling to see a brighter future for themselves, their teams, and the people they serve. The Changemaker’s Toolkit examines why hope is fading while revealing the unprecedented opportunities available today. Social change leader Catherine Alonzo provides a framework and four powerful tools—Vision, Action, Values, and Conviction— you can use throughout your changemaking career. She teaches you how to define your vision, create systems for action, identify your core values, and reach deep and believe so you can move forward with purpose when optimism is under threat. Every meaningful change throughout human history began with an idea that once seemed impossible. The Changemaker’s Toolkit will give you not only an actionable resource, but also new hope and the ability to drive significant change in your community.
