Nonprofit & Social Enterprise

In the heart of Long Beach, a new initiative is bringing nonprofit leaders, community champions, and changemakers together—one cup of coffee at a time. Denise Peoples and 21st Century STEM are launching a special series of Coffee Meetups, beginning Tuesday, March 4th , at 10:30 AM at Café Lorel , in Long Beach, California. These gatherings aim to foster collaboration, resource-sharing, and innovative problem-solving among nonprofit organizations. Recognizing the challenges that small nonprofits often face—such as limited funding, staffing, and visibility—this initiative provides a space where leaders can exchange ideas, form strategic partnerships, and find collective solutions to common obstacles .
