CFC Keynote - Alan Khazei | @marioninstitute

http://www.connectingforchange.org Connecting for Change: Bioneers by the Bay conference hosted by the Marion Institute is A SOLUTIONS BASED gathering that brings together a diverse audience to create deep and positive change in their communities. The conference connects the dots between food and farming, health and healing, indigenous knowledge, women and youth leadership, green business and restorative living. The co-founder of City Year presents his vision of how Americans of all walks of life can join together in a shared act of national service. ALAN KHAZEI has pioneered ways to empower citizens to make a difference. In 1987, he co-founded a non-profit organization called City Year, uniting young adults from all backgrounds for a year of full-time community service mentoring, tutoring, and educating children. It served as the model and inspiration for President Clinton's AmeriCorps program and now operates in 20 U.S. cities plus Johannesburg and London. In 2007, Alan launched Be the Change, Inc., a nonprofit that creates national issue based campaigns by organizing coalitions of non-profits, social entrepreneurs, policymakers, private sector leaders, academics, and citizens. Alan's awards include the Reebok Human Rights Award, the Jefferson Award for Public Service, and the Schwab Foundation Social Entrepreneur Award. In 2006, US News and World Report named him one of America's "25 Best Leaders." Alan is also the author of a new book, Big Citizenship: How pragmatic idealism can bring out the best in America, which just came out in August.
