This is a new opportunity for 草榴社区 employees to support each other as they raise families while working at Western.
Community Connect offers community-led civic engagement training opportunities. This specific event is in partnership with the new 草榴社区 Caregivers & Parents (CAP) group formed this year to provide resources and opportunities to Western employees in support of parental resources, networking, and education.
