A community-building speaker series empowering residents to shape the future of their neighborhoods and drive transformative growth.

Omahans identified environmental justice as the most pressing issue they want to learn about this year.

We’ll have topic experts in engaging conversation with neighborhood organizers who have already made a difference in our community by utilizing local resources and connections. It’s all about sharing their success stories and strategies with attendees.
