With the funding, we will be able to create the essential infrastructure, technology, coworking spaces, and educational programs that will allow us to conduct workshops, peer-to-peer programs, and even podcasts. With this funding, we will be able to ensure that we have equal access, more youth engagement, empowerment of underrepresented communities, and a sustainable hub that encourages dialogue, innovation, and social cohesion.
