"Headwaters sees this event as a way to get more young adults engaged in the very important work of social justice by introducing them to the work that Headwaters' does with local grassroots organizations. More so than just introducing them to the work of these organizations we see this as a way to invite young people to become philanthropically committed to organizations that address the root causes of injustice," said Executive Director Trista Harris.
