Investing in a New Generation of Power-Building Leaders

Investing in a New Generation of Power-Building Leaders

The events of last year galvanized new leaders – predominately young people of color operating with limited resources – to organize and challenge the systems that do not work for their communities. Silicon Valley Community Foundation and The Obama Foundation are committed to investing in this new generation of leaders who are building power to reimagine their communities. Join Silicon Valley Community Foundation’s President and CEO Nicole Taylor and The Obama Foundation President Valerie Jarrett for a discussion on how leaders are building on progress made in 2020, and how philanthropy can contribute to the power-building work happening now across the nation.

Also featuring: Shari Davis, The Obama Foundation Fellow and Executive Director of the Participatory Budgeting Project; Poncho Guevara, Executive Director of Sacred Heart Community Service, which serves Santa Clara County.
