April 1, 2026 - The Elder Leadership Incubator is having an Orientation on Zoom. "You’ll collaborate with fellow elders over five weekly sessions under the tutelage of Clint Wilkins, an elder changemaker and former associate with the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford. You’ll learn to “make a map and mind the gaps” of an issue you’d like to tackle, say climate change, food waste, or childhood poverty. Then you will lay the foundation for your project’s strategic plan, establishing the foundation for the journey ahead, supported by this community of fellow elder changemakers." Register here.
