(View encore program at FACEBOOK.COM/ATHLETESVOICES)

THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2021 | 5:00 PM ET - 6:30 PM ET (2:00 PM PT - 3:30 PM PT)

Join Athletes' Voices on Thursday, March 16, 2021 at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT for an important and timely discussion on the role athletes and sports play in supporting youth as they return to school in a post-COVID environment.

EVERY CHILD HAS EXPERIENCED SOME DEGREE OF TRAUMA DURING THE PANDEMIC BUT HOW CAN THIS BE EXPLORED AND RESOLVED?

This will be a provocative and action-oriented conversation, featuring athletes and practitioners who are on the front lines as children adjust to the "New Normal":

  • Gina Sudaria | Superintendent - Ravenswood City School District (East Palo Alto, California); former school principal; Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor; former track and field, basketball and Olympic weightlifting athlete; advocate; Stanford University

  • David West | NBA Legend (15 seasons); Chief Operating Officer - Professional Collegiate League (PCL) (basketball); Basketball Times National Collegiate Player of the Year; education advocate; operator of Garner Road Basketball Club; Xavier University

With this sixth installment of our Pitch for Change Speaker Series, Athletes' Voices continues to inspire impact and amplify athletes' voices as influencers around a wide range of topics, including the role sports plays in motivating young scholars.

Pitch for Change has curated a fascinating group of influencers who will share their first-hand accounts, professional perspective and suggested action items around sports as a conduit for awareness around the psycho-social aspects of a return to in-person learning post-COVID.

Join us live on Thursday, March 16, 2021 to participate in the dialogue or visit https://www.facebook.com/athletesvoices for the encore showing of the Webinar.
