Still Seats Available for The Children's Trust's Social Equity Day
Famed civil rights leader Julian Bond once said, "Many are attracted to social service - the rewards are immediate, the gratification quick. But if we have social justice, we won't need social service." That is the rationale behind The Children's Trust presenting Social Equity Day on Friday, February 14 (Valentine's Day), from
9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The event will feature a groundbreaking seminar:
Integrating Social Justice Into Education and Practice. The event is
FREE but seating is limited so please register as early as possible at
tinyurl.com/social-equity-2020.
