Sharing this blog post from Tom Frakes of Iowa City Summer of Solutions, a great organization that has done so much for the Iowa City community. Tom shares his experiences at the Grand Aspirations 2012 August Gathering in Hartford, Conn. This year’s gathering brought together roughly 60 individuals from SoS programs nationwide as well as leadership from Grand Aspirations and other allied organizations.
These individuals came together from a variety of ages, backgrounds and beliefs in order to build community, share best practices and debrief both challenging and empowering experiences our programs encountered through their work this summer.
