Want to change the world? You’ll need to organize it first. No matter what your sustainability passion, it’s likely skills that labor and community organizers use can benefit you–from building authentic, community-centered relationships to building effective communication campaigns. Come learn from labor leaders and Penn State alumni who have pursued careers across the globe in labor and community organizing and discover competencies and careers that can be part of your sustainability journey.
Featured speakers are scheduled to include:
- Allie Petonic, Strategic Researcher for United Steelworkers and Penn State alumna
- Reneisha Knight, Organizer for SEIU Local 668
- Alex Tomasko, Legislative Director for the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO and Penn State alumnus
