The future of workforce readiness may depend less on what young people know and more on how effectively they collaborate\, communicate\, regulate stress\, and navigate uncertainty. As AI reshapes industries and traditional career pathways\, emotional intelligence\, mental health\, and relationship-building are emerging not as “soft skills\,” but as essential ones. \nJoin NationSwell\, Dr. Isaiah Pickens of iOpening Enterprises\, and Christina Sass of the International Youth Foundation for a candid conversation exploring how schools\, employers\, and youth-serving organizations can redesign the school-to-work pipeline to better prepare young people for sustainable success. Moving beyond compliance-driven approaches to career readiness\, this discussion will examine how relationship-centered environments\, identity safety\, and well-being practices strengthen resilience\, deepen engagement\, and improve long-term workforce outcomes. \nParticipants will leave with practical strategies to create career-connected learning experiences that equip young people not just to secure jobs\, but to thrive in them—along with insights for building workplace cultures that continue to develop these critical skills across the entire workforce. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

Leaders responsible for engagement and volunteerism are being asked to show that these efforts do more than generate activity—that they build real connection\, support talent goals\, and contribute to the business in visible ways. \nThis intimate NationSwell Braintrust will convene a small group of senior social impact practitioners who oversee employee engagement and volunteerism to pause\, compare notes\, and get honest about what is and isn’t working. The conversation will focus on how leaders are sharpening their strategies: making clearer choices about where to focus\, designing volunteer and engagement experiences that feel meaningful to employees\, and testing approaches and communications that better connect their work to culture\, retention\, and impact. \nParticipants will leave with fresh insight into how others are navigating similar pressures\, plus a set of peer-tested ideas to bring back to their teams. This gathering is designed specifically for in-house social impact leaders; we are not able to accommodate vendors\, consultants\, or service providers for this session. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

We’ll bring powerful use cases to life for participants via live demonstrations and Q&A with individuals using these approaches in real world ways. This will be a great opportunity for anyone looking to expand and deepen their working knowledge of practical AI. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

Yet many of these institutions face declining readership\, foot traffic\, and membership at the very moment their roles in combating misinformation\, strengthening democracy\, supporting local economies\, and fostering belonging are most critical. \nIn this NationSwell Braintrust\, hosted in partnership with Siegel Family Endowment\, we’ll explore how funders and practitioners can seed new partnerships across these institutions\, test place-based models\, and move from exploratory work toward implementation. Building on Siegel’s emerging strategy around civic knowledge infrastructure and its expanding work at the intersection of technology and policy\, we’ll surface shared questions on information\, democracy\, and AI\, and identify opportunities for a “coalition of the willing” to advance this work. Together\, we’ll map who needs to be at the table—from local museums and libraries to faith-based partners\, community media\, local government\, and grassroots civic groups—clarify what success looks like\, and chart potential next steps for collective action. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

But these investments often come with tradeoffs: land taken out of agricultural use\, heavy demands on water and energy systems\, and decisions made far from the people most affected. \nNationSwell invites leaders from business\, philanthropy\, and the social sector to a conversation on how to invest in rural economic prosperity without stripping local communities of agency. We’ll explore what responsible investment looks like when rural regions are asked to host large-scale infrastructure and enterprise—and how models that prioritize local ownership\, shared decision-making\, and long-term community benefit can compete with extractive approaches. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

Traditional\, institutionally driven models can be too slow\, too rigid\, or too distant from the lived realities of people navigating the immediate aftermath of crisis. At the same time\, expectations are rising\, from employees\, customers\, and communities\, for responses that are faster\, more human\, and more direct. \nThis brain-trust will convene a small group of leaders across sectors to grapple with a shared question: What does effective\, responsible crisis philanthropy look like now? \nTogether\, we’ll explore: \n\nWhere existing models are falling short\, and where they still matter\nHow to balance speed\, trust\, accountability\, and equity in moments of urgency\nThe role of direct-to-person support\, including cash-based approaches\, in complementing institutional funding\nWhat it would take to move from fragmented responses to more coordinated\, pre-aligned action\n\nGoFundMe and GoFundMe.org will share perspectives from the frontlines of rapid\, direct relief\, including how fast\, flexible funding can reach individuals in hours\, not weeks. But this is not a presentation\, it’s a working conversation. The goal is to pressure-test ideas\, surface tensions\, and identify where there is real potential for alignment\, partnership\, and collective action. \nGrounded in the reality that disasters are increasing in cadence and scale\, and that public sector support may not keep pace\, this conversation aims to move beyond critique toward practical pathways forward.

Funders are under pressure to move money more efficiently\, learn faster\, and support grantees better\, all without adding risk\, burden\, or opacity to an already complex system. The question is no longer whether AI will touch grantmaking\, but where it can actually add value—and where it shouldn’t. \nNationSwell invites philanthropic and impact leaders to a conversation on the practical use of AI in grantmaking. We’ll focus on use cases—sourcing and diligence\, application review\, portfolio learning\, reporting\, and grantee support—while interrogating the tradeoffs around bias\, transparency\, data quality\, and trust. The goal is a grounded exchange of ideas about when AI can meaningfully improve decisions and workflows\, and how to adopt it in ways that strengthen\, rather than undermine\, equity\, accountability\, and relationships with grantees. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.
