"re-imagine global community" is a benefit party for the 2009 iLEAP International Fellowship program being held at the Phinney Neighborhood Center on November 15th, 2008. iLEAP is bringing together Seattle’s social enterprise community for a big night of fun! iLEAP works to connect people who are enhancing lives around the globe in clever, innovative and sustainable ways. Come join the fun and connect with some of the most inspiring people Seattle has to offer.
The iLEAP International Fellowship program brings leaders from civil society organizations working for positive social change in Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, to Seattle, Washington for a 3 month intensive program in professional skill building, academic study, and global networking. The Fellowship program is organized around the central themes of: social enterprise, reflective practice, collaborative leadership, and social and environmental sustainability. It is designed to leverage the remarkable human resource base in the Seattle area working on these issues.
The theme for the November 15th party is ‘Bringing it Home’ signifying the critical approach iLEAP takes towards 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 a 2006 Earshot Vocalist of the Year Nominee, Rochelle House, and up-and-coming musician 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. General admission tickets cost $35 and include a beverage ticket.
Evidence of the strong local support for iLEAP and its programs can be found in the range of partners for this party. They include: Antioch University Seattle, Project Stand, Pathables, EarthCorps, Interra, Solid Ground, Feet First, Everest Kitchen, Maker’s Mark, Trees of Antiquity, Crooked Trails, and Community Alliance for Global Justice.
100% of all proceeds from the party go toward bringing the iLEAP Fellows to Seattle for the Spring 2009 Fellowship program.
