Junior League of Kansas City, MO

Join the Junior League of Kansas City and the Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership for a private screening of the acclaimed documentary Join or Die. Drawing on the research of Robert Putnam and Shaylyn Romney Garrett, the film reveals how social connection – or its absence – shapes democracy, civic engagement, and the health of our communities. After the screening, participate in a facilitated discussion with Shaylyn Romney Garrett, led by the Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership, to explore the film’s themes and how we can rebuild trust and connection in our own communities.

This event serves as a lead-in to C3KC, the Junior League’s annual conference on community, collaboration, and change, offering an early opportunity to engage with Shaylen Romney Garrett before her keynote at the conference. Experience an inspiring evening of film, conversation, and practical insights for strengthening the bonds that sustain civic life.
