NH Next: A Summit for Young Changemakers

Are you a young person in New Hampshire aged 18 – 40  who wants to make the Granite State — or your corner of it — a better place?

Attendees heard from, and engaged with, other compelling young people who have made a difference in their communities or the Granite State. They met others who share their interests, connect with individuals and organizations with whom they might partner to help create the change they want to see, and gained access to information and other resources that may help them along the way.
