Effective communication skills are a MUST in philanthropy!  In this session, we will practice active listening, public speaking, and questioning skills and learn how they can improve our philanthropy, including learning from our special guest Martand Bhagavatula who founded a nonprofit at age 8, and has done a lot of public speaking for his organization.  These skills will be put to the test in a Disney scavenger hunt developed just for the early explorers!
