Hey everyone! We are coming back with an all virtual Table Topics!
The theme of the next Table Topics is “Dear Future Volunteer”.
Cohort 10 of RISE ended December 2022. That wraps up 5 years of RISE and more than 450 alumni who have completed the program, who are out in the world.
In this coming edition we’ll celebrate 5 years of RISE, reflect on how volunteering and the lessons we learn in community carry through time.
We are so excited to introduce some of our amazing panelists joining the conversation:

Through her experience working with multiple non-profits and in the academic field, Cameron hopes to catalyze systemic change to protect people and nature.
