Join UNICEF's group of young professional supporters, NextGen, on May 27 for a casual coffee hour at FEED on UNICEF's impact on child labor and environment.
It is estimated that 250 million children are impacted by clothing and textile supply chains. We'll discuss not only how children are affected, but also how we can minimize our own impact and make sustainable changes.
We'll engage in discussions, activities, and action planning--all focused on making a difference for children.
Members from every background are encouraged to join for this rich and lively conversation!
For questions, please contact Tori Curbelo at vcurbelo@unicefusa.org.
