Lunch and Learn
We are excited to kick off our 2025 Lunch & Learn series this April honoring Child Abuse Prevention Month and in partnership with the month-long webinar series from the Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP). Following their theme of “It Takes a Village,” our panel of national and local experts will discuss proven practices for building trust from within a community.

Live storytelling event with The Moth
On April 30th our playroom will be converted into a theater for the night, to host the culmination of our special collaboration with The Moth. Three chosen storytellers who took part in our exclusive workshop will deliver their story on stage, without notes, at an intimate storytelling event of invited guests. This should shape up to be an exhilarating, inspiring event where we can learn more about ourselves and each other.
