Join us to support teams of macro School of Social Work students as they conceptualize creative and sustainable solutions to societal issues, such as:

  • Food insecurity and poor nutrition among students in Title I Boston Public Schools and how urban farms can mitigate those problems
  • Environmentally friendly approach to cleaning up the garbage on the streets in Boston’s Chinatown
  • Barriers to economic mobility for Bhutanese communities in Springfield
  • Culture preservation among immigrant communities
  • Logistical support for low-income incarcerated population
  • Food security program for low-income population during natural disasters
  • Access to opioid treatment services for homeless young adults in Massachusetts
  • Housing the chronically homeless

Teams will present their ideas to a panel of judges and the audience at the Final Pitch. Two winners will be awarded: Judges Selection and Popular Choice.
