13th Annual Rising Stars Awards
This program is an initiative of Stay Work Play, in partnership with New Hampshire Public Radio, to celebrate and recognize New Hampshire’s remarkable young people and the businesses that go the extra mile to recruit and retain them.
Presented by Eversource join us at the Bank of New Hampshire Stage in Concord. The in-person event will feature live music, light refreshments and a cash bar, and for the first time an after-party to celebrate this year's winners. All attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the interactive live audience poll to select this year's "Coolest Employer for Young People" award winner.

BIPOC in the Outdoors
New Hampshire is filled with outdoor recreational activities from hiking, fishing, boating, climbing, leaf-peeping and so much more. Access to New Hampshire's premier outdoor recreational amenities is a main reason that young people cite as a reason they choose to stay in the Granite State. But young people of color have noted that they don't always feel welcome and comfortable in New Hampshire's great outdoors.
In this virtual panel discussion hear from three young outdoor enthusiasts of color who will talk about why their peers don't always feel like the outdoors is for them, how this affects the state's economy, and efforts to attract and retain young people of color, and what we can collectively do to make New Hampshire's great outdoors a more inclusive and welcoming space for all.

Making A More Vibrant New Hampshire
