How can we get creative about building solutions to address homelessness?

Join the Design for Good Changemaker teams as we celebrate the results of the 2016 Changemaker Series!

Over the past few months, diverse volunteer creative teams have used their superpowers by collaborating with local nonprofits and change organizations on projects addressing homelessness challenges.

• Celebrate the creative teams’ successes over some wine, beer, and light appetizers in the inspiring Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Visitor Center.

• Meet passionate creatives and changemakers in the community who are working on tackling homelessness issues.

• Check out the project showcase and listen to short presentations as teams show their journey through design-thinking processes, project results and next steps for driving positive change in our community.

• Attend a panel discussion with our participating change organizations as they share their experiences and lessons learned from the Changemaker Series.

• Share your ideas to help address housing and homelessness challenges.

• Spark ideas for the next Changemaker theme.

The Changemaker Showcase is the finale in a series that unites teams of creative professionals with nonprofits and social change organizations to use design thinking, sustainable frameworks and creative tools to help advance their mission.
