Talking helps. Communicating with one another and exchanging ideas builds stronger, more diverse communities. That’s why we have NextGen Talks, a series of conversations where we can talk about anything – ranging from the intersection between mental health and food insecurity, to how we can end student debt, to how to navigate the dreaded zoom fatigue. Join us in these conversations on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
