When we think of social change, our minds often go to protests, new laws, or stories of redemption and social justice. And social change is all of those things. But often, it’s also a long process where a community comes together, looks for solutions, and learns through trial and error. Welcome to Impact in Action from MGT. On this podcast, we dive into the real stories behind every social impact solution. From the vibrant heart of Baltimore, to the rural depths of North Dakota, we discover what really goes into social innovation and community development. We ask the critical questions: - What can we do to create economic empowerment across our local communities? - How do we improve our schools to offer young people a better start in life and increase literacy and math scores? - How do we help veterans transition their skillset to find the right job in their new life? - How do we support those who manage our local communities provide for their community more efficiently? Our guests step up to the microphone to reflect on their work, whether they’re government professionals, social impact advisors, community engagement officers, or members of the public on a mission. They share their expertise and insights to show us what social impact looks like in the real world. Technology solutions, disparity studies, compensation research- a lot goes into social impact work. So whether you’re seeking advice to support local communities or you want to untangle key issues of economic empowerment, Impact in Action will help you grab the tools you need to build stronger social programs.
