In my role I work with our WSA Youth Ambassadors and our Alumni, a growing global network of social innovators and changemakers. I am here to learn more about social innovation, engage with community members, get insights into similar networks like ours, and learn from best practices. WSA is an invitational initiative that strongly believes in the power of collaboration to drive positive change, and I truly see the value and importance of connections and support networks.
