Next Saturday, September 29, Johns Hopkins University’s Social Innovation Lab, in partnership with Open Society Institute and Baltimore Corps, will host an “Impact Bootcamp” for “for people who want to gain or enhance the skills essential for launching and leading a community project, nonprofit, or mission-driven business.” The Bootcamp is a condensed version of the SIL’s full program.
Jessica Turral, a 2010 OSI Community Fellow and 2012 Alumni Grant recipient who founded Hand in Hand Baltimore to reduce recidivism rates among juvenile boys charged as adults, will offer the keynote address, and 2016 OSI Community Fellow Gianna Rodriguez, founder of Baltimore Youth Arts, will participate in the social entrepreneur roundtable. OSI Fellows Brian Gerardo and Chavi Rhodes participated in the spring Bootcamp (pictured).
