Co-Creating Hope, Power, Partnership, and Youth-Led Innovation with Hopelab and University of Pennsylvania

What does it mean to truly share power with young people – not just in rhetoric, but in research, funding, and strategy? On May 4, 2026, from 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM, The Center for Social Impact Strategy at UPenn is hosting a virtual talk with Joshua Lavra of Hopelab to answer this question. Hopelab works at the intersection of youth well-being, technology, and equity, and this talk will highlight concrete stories of co-creating with young people, and the messy, generative work of designing more hopeful futures. RSVP via Zoom for this talk and to see the other topics in the series.
