On Saturday, November 15th at the Phinney Neighborhood Center (6532 Phinney Ave N in Seattle), iLEAP is bringing together Seattle's social enterprise community for a big night of fun! We are celebrating the 2nd annual iLEAP International Fellowship, a program that brings grass-roots community leaders from Asia and Africa for a 3 month program in social enterprise and innovation, leadership, and global networking. The next program will begin in April 2009 and, like in 2008, people in Seattle will have a number of opportunities to interact with this remarkable group of inspiring people.
The theme for the evening is 'Bringing it Home', signifying the critical approach that iLEAP takes toward supporting our global participants as they integrate learning and experience back into their lives and communities around the world. Live music will be provided by international recording artist and 2006 Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year nominee, Rochelle House and singer/songwriter Tamara Power-Drutis.
Doors open at 6:30pm with food from Everest Kitchen and drink from local wineries, breweries, and Maker's Mark all available at the event. 100% of all proceeds from the party go toward bringing the iLEAP Fellows to Seattle for the Spring 2009 Fellowship program from places such as Zambia, Sri Lanka, Uganda, the Philippines and India.
iLEAP attracts some of the most interesting and creative people in the area who are working on global issues and community change--Come get connected to innovative work in Seattle and around the world.
Collaborating partners for the event: Antioch University Seattle, Project STAND, Pathable, Northwest Center, EarthCorps, Interra, Solid Ground, Feet First, Everest Kitchen, Maker's Mark, Trees of Antiquity, Crooked Trails and the Community Alliance for Global Justice
