How do you earn a living while working toward a more just world, especially in systems that have long excluded communities facing racial and economic injustice?

This gathering is an attempt to face that question together. Hear from 4-5 speakers, drop by tablers, and meet amazing people committed to mentorship, workforce development, and community wealth building. Light snacks will be served.

• Hear from dynamic speakers who have stories to tell about their winding paths. You'll also be surrounded by people who are on their own journeys and ready to share their challenges and learnings along the way.

• Drop by tablers ready to share resources, information, and advice.

• Have a resume you want reviewed? Come early and look Street Works reps. If we can't review your resume on the spot, we'll schedule time with you!
