Inviting Young People Into the Caring Economy Movement

Hi everyone,

Here at the CELP global headquarters ;), we've been talking about what it could look like to get more young people involved in the Caring Economy Movement - a topic I know is close to the hearts of some of you Conversation Leaders as well.  (Miranda Keenan of Cohort M, for example, did her practicum work this Spring with a group of teens...)

Here are a couple links that fit into this conversation:

The first was sent in by Ann Manning:

And the second was brought to my attention by our new Program Administrator, the marvelous Ann Amberg (from whom you'll be hearing more in the near future...)

There are exciting and wonderful things afoot in this next generation!  Leave a comment if you'd like to share an idea or two about how to engage young people in the CE conversation...

Cheers,
Sara
