What if one of the most powerful answers to our crisis of community is also one of the simplest: showing up for one another?
Join 92NY’s Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact for a special virtual event exploring the power of service and how giving back can strengthen connection, build healthier communities, and help us feel more rooted in the places we call home.
Featuring Dr. Vivek Murthy, 19th and 21st Surgeon General of the United States, in conversation with MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire, this special event explores why giving back is not only good for the people we serve, but also essential to our own well-being and the strength of our communities.
You’ll also meet Community Builders in Action, inspiring nonprofit leaders from the Belfer Center’s UpTide Nonprofit Accelerator who are expanding opportunity, bringing people together, and creating local impact.
Plus, former Fire Commissioner of New York City Laura Kavanagh speaks with GivingTuesday’s Victoria Leonhardt about practical ways to overcome the common barriers that keep people from getting involved, from lack of time and money to not knowing where to start.
Come away with a deeper understanding of why service matters, and simple ways to strengthen the communities we share.
