Hula Story Sessions: King Street Center
Innovating Opportunity, Powered by Community
What does it look like when a youth center grows into something more?
On Thursday, April 30th, King Street Center will be featured at Hula’s Story Sessions, an event series highlighting organizations driving innovation and impact across Vermont.
Over the last four years, we have evolved from a neighborhood afterschool program into a holistic youth development and family empowerment ecosystem, one shaped directly by the needs and voices of our community.
We’ve launched new programs, new partnerships, new ways of working and new possibilities, all driven by the same question — what do kids and families actually want and need?
The evening will feature a conversation with voices from across our community — board leadership, staff, alum, and a current youth participant — sharing perspectives on where we've been, where we are, and where we're headed.
Featuring key perspectives from:
Eric Miller | Chair, King Street Center Board of Directors
Shabnam Nolan | Executive Director
Stacy Weinberger | Early Education Director
Misky Noor | King Street Center Alumni & K-5 Program Staff
Stuti Chhetri | Senior at BHS & Academic & Career Exploration Participant
Event Details:
