May 17, 2018
11:30 am - 1:30 pm
Venue: City Club Los Angeles

In the era of social media and digital engagement, most young professionals are more engaged with the latest app or social network rather than making change. There is, however, a new generation of young people who combine new age trends with their passion for social good in an effort to change the lives of others on a global scale.

A panel of enterprising young professionals share their individual projects that are affecting and bettering the lives of people across the world. Their discussion will not only touch on their individual work, but will also illustrate how a generation of young entrepreneurs are building humanitarian businesses and platforms from a granular level.

• Seth Maxwell, Founder & CEO, The Thirst Project
