Local Pathways Fellowship

A space becomes a place only when people attach meaning, memory & identity to it. This past weekend, @sherlnjK led our fellows through Places We Love: Identity, Culture and the Making of Sustainable Cities. Sustainability isn't only engineering — it's belonging. #SDSNYouth
