Through our four-part workshop series, we will explore the art and science of design thinking's 4D model to discover, define, develop, and deliver your social innovation project proposal. Whether you have an established project, have a social issue you feel strongly about, or simply are in the ideation phase, join us to learn how to craft a change-making project to receive funding.

• Social Innovation II: Discovery & Definition | October 12, 2022 @ 5pm. Learn to define and nuance your research to hone in on your "what".
• Social Innovation III: Develop with Community Partnership | October 17, 2022 @ 3pm. Discover how to consider solutions and collaborations to inform your "how".
• Social Innovation IV: Deliver—Writing your Proposal | October 28, 2022 @ 2pm. Master how to formalize your project budget, timeline, and narrative.
