The Gryphon
Come join me and others for the inaugural Resolution Social: Washington DC! Taking place at The Gryphon in Dupont Circle, this will be an exciting evening dedicated to social entrepreneurship and volunteerism. With a two-hour open bar and a fantastic group of people, come learn about how young leaders around the world are being galvanized to take on the world’s challenges together, today. We hope to see you there! https://resolutionsocialdc.eventbrite.com
THE RESOLUTION PROJECT is a unique pathway to action for aspiring young leaders committed to changing the world. Resolution identifies and empowers undergraduate students around the world who are launching new social ventures, supported by Resolution’s global network of resources. Resolution finds young social entrepreneurs through Social Venture Challenges held at existing youth conferences like the Clinton Global Initiative University, the Youth Assembly at the United Nations, and others. Resolution helps the winners of its competitions to make a positive impact today through Resolution Fellowships. In the words of Chelsea Clinton, “The Resolution Project has shown that socially-responsible young entrepreneurs who want to create a positive change no longer have to wait for tomorrow, but are capable of leading today.” Please see our Resolution Digital Book and our Website for further information on our work and narratives from some of our Fellows.
