“At Nevada w88 mobile, we know that personal stories are key to building relationships and broadening perspectives,” says Christina Barr, executive director, Nevada w88 mobile. “It feels elementary, but learning how to listen to each others’ stories effectively can be transformational for families, communities, and for our society. This partnership brings together key people in our community who can offer insight into how to listen with compassion and with genuine curiosity in ways that will benefit us all.”
