We’re switching things up! Join us on our new day — Friday, November 7 at noon — for the INNOVAT3 Connected Communities Meetup at the beautiful House of Web3 in the Presidio.
Hosted by INNOVAT3 and the Connected Communities DAO, this monthly gathering brings together innovators, technologists, social entrepreneurs, and faith-motivated leaders who are passionate about using technology to strengthen communities and solve real-world challenges.
🙋♂️ About Host
Let's Solve The World's Biggest Challenges
INNOVAT3 is a social impact collective that seeks to bring greater innovation into the social services sector and thus better results as we address the issues most pressing to our communities. Challenges such as homelessness, prison recidivism, unequal access to justice, food insecurity, addiction, substance abuse, hopelessness, mental illness, and human trafficking are complex inter-related and demand a multi-disciplinary approach.
We build communities, strengthen and grow the amazing organizations we partner with, share best practices, leverage combined resources, educate stake holders, and facilitate greater collaboration.
