In-Person – Coffee n Chat with the Community

Community EngagementGeneral Announcements

Estimated Reading Time: 2 Minutes

The “Coffee n Chat” initiative is designed to cultivate engagement among parents, community partners, IRC staff, and service providers within our community, fostering meaningful conversations, networking opportunities, and the exchange of valuable insights through monthly events featuring guest speakers.

Each month, “Coffee n Chat” will showcase a distinguished guest speaker addressing topics relevant to our community’s interests and concerns. These events will be characterized by an informal yet informative atmosphere, allowing attendees to learn, connect, and share perspectives.

We had a great success with this initiative in 2024, therefore Coffee n Chat is here to stay featuring the following sessions during the upcoming months:
