The ProKids Community Learning Series: Defining Home features speakers from the Greater Cincinnati area and is focused on delving into how our streets, systems, and society have evolved and continue to evolve into a place where all are welcomed and belong.
All learning series sessions are free and open to the public. We hope you’ll join us for light refreshments during a community mix-and-mingle starting 45 minutes prior to each session!
