FPWA to Host Third Courageous Conversations Conference

 
FPWA, an anti-poverty policy and advocacy non-profit in New York City, in partnership with the New York University McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research, is hosting its third Courageous Conversation Conference to explore the often-unseen ways that trauma and poverty play out in mission-driven work and identify opportunities to course correct.

The event will take place on April 10, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the New York University (NYU) Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South.

The conference will also feature an award presentation to the Students of Color Matter, who courageously staged peaceful protests at Ethical Culture Fieldston School in response to what students deemed "a school culture of racism and bias".

The keynote speaker will be Alan van Capelle, CEO and President of Educational Alliance and Adjunct Professor of Public Service, NYU Wagner. 

Panelists will include: Gabby Cudjoe Wilkes, Pastor, Double Love Experience, Mayra Lopez, LMSW, Senior Director of Trauma-Informed Programming, Good Shepherd Services in New York City, Stanley Richards, Executive Vice President, The Fortune Society, and Dr. Shari K. Brink, President and CEO, Blanton-Peale Institute and Counseling Center.
