We strive to provide a vibrant and connective in-person experience at Green Drinks, but we recognize that for some, an in-person event may present barriers. Please let us know when you RSVP if you require any accommodations or if you would like to attend but cannot attend in-person. We will contact you to make the best arrangements possible.
Green Drinks - Doing Good Work, with Peter Blanchard of GoodWork.ca
How do we work for a better world? And how do we put our skills and energy where they actually matter?
This month's Green Drinks is hosted with our new sponsor, Peter Blanchard, founder of GoodWork.ca, Canada's green and social jobs board. Peter walked away from an unsatisfying job at an IT company, travelled the world on a shoestring, and came home to build a social enterprise that does good and pays the bills.
Peter will share his story briefly, then it's over to you. Around your table, you'll swap ideas and daydreams on how each of us can do more "good work," whether that's a new job, a volunteer role, starting something of your own, or shifting what you already do. Each table will share one highlight with the room.
Whether you're job hunting, restless in your current role, or just curious, come for the conversation and stay to connect. Plenty of open networking time before and after.
