YSEALI Learns is back with new courses!

The 2024 YSEALI Learns semester comprises three different topics. Each session will be facilitated by an expert speaker followed by small breakout room discussions. The courses will focus on developing organization, community organizing and social enterprise, through three YSEALI Learns online and hybrid courses:
