This year’s Conversation about Community is a solutions-focused forum exploring how we must come together to make the city of Jackson a place where all of our children can flourish.

Conversation about Community is an annual event presented by Operation Shoestring. Operation Shoestring provides year-round academic, social and emotional support to children in central Jackson from pre-K – 12th grade, while supporting and providing resources to their families. The aim is to empower the children and families we serve to create their own success, and that of their community, so we all rise together.
