2019 Know Your Impact!

 

Know Your Impact! Today is Full of Possibilities

This year’s annual Rebuilding for Learning Summit took place on Monday, October 28th, 2019, at the La Crosse Center. The on-going collaboration between La Crosse County, City of La Crosse, and School District of La Crosse – and well over 30 frontline organizations working directly in support of youth and families – was yet another outstanding experience.

This year’s theme, KNOW YOUR IMPACT! Today is Full of Possibilities, featured a compelling meld of national and local speakers including, but not limited to: Paul Schmitz, Carolyn Bostrack, Reggie Jackson, Southside Moms United, Showing Up for Racial Justice, Chad Dull, Betsy Delzer, La Crosse SOUP, Dr. Michael Lichucki, Widening the Circle, Interfaith Alliance, and more!
