On Saturday, April 5, ConnPIRG hosted Hungry for Change: Connecticut Symposium on Hunger and Homelessness. Over 100 students from fifteen high schools, colleges and universities attended the conference. Students attended workshops on issues such as youth homelessness, sweatshop labor, hunger and organizing events. The conference ended with a Faces of Homelessness Panel by the National Coalition for the Homeless. Students left the conference with a better undrestanding of the issues and how they can make a difference in the lives of those that are hungry or homeless.
