Young Leaders for Social Change Project “Bridging the Gap: Social Change in the 21st Century”

Southern Partners Fund invites young and emerging community organizers, nonprofit professionals and philanthropic practitioners, ages 18-35, to attend the inaugural Young Leaders for Social Change Gathering! This gathering will offer the next generation of leaders dedicated to social justice in the South an opportunity to network and engage in discussion and knowledge building sessions focused on social justice philanthropy, boardsmanship, and emerging and intersectional issues in the movement and across the sector.

The Young Leaders for Social Change Project is an initiative of the Social Justice Institute (SJI), SPF’s leadership development and capacity building program for nonprofits in the U.S. south. The Project aims to increase skills, knowledge, advocacy, and civic participation among new and emerging leaders in the nonprofit sector committed to progressive social change in the South and across the U.S. The Young Leaders for Social Change gathering will kick-off this new initiative on October 23-24, 2009 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference in Atlanta Georgia.
