DESCRIPTION:

Good Work! will emphasize effective programs that are less like a charity and more like a movement. Representatives from selected organizations such as Project Cure, Global Volunteers and the Posner Center will discuss the good work they do to solve local and global issues. Each will address a specific problem and their success in addressing that problem. Speakers will provide useful information about ways to become involved as volunteers, letter writers, legislative participants, advocates or contributors. All of us want to know that our efforts, large or small, are directed toward meaningful groups with proven track records.
