8AM Chat: Social Change Event Happening in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, NC — Juice Cru is a community in Charlotte that calls themselves the next generation of civil and human rights leaders.

Happening later this month, Juice Cru isΒ hosting a women’s leadership and development program called #ugotjuice. The event has a special focus on minority women, in the Charlotte- Mecklenburg community. The 12-week program teaches participants how to lead grassroots social movements to create community change. The class will accept up to 10 women.

Using the Roadmap to Social Change as the guide, the program will lead participants on a path of personal discovery, introduce them to local, state and regional issues, present them with resources to increase their social capital and require them to use what they’ve learned by implementing a social movement aligned with their interest alone or with others in their cohort.

This is all happening June 25. The location is still being determined, but stay up to date by clicking here.Β
