Team Tassy believes that poverty is an epidemic and that curing it takes good, dignified jobs. Their work is in Haiti, the poorest country of the Western Hemisphere, where they're working to help jump start the local economy with their job creation projects. They employ a full accompaniment model in one community, going block by block to prepare individual family members for jobs, providing access to medical care, education, and job training, a process they call getting "out of the hole" so that families can succeed in the work place and pull themselves out of poverty forever.

Team Tassy's Executive Director, Vivien Luk, will share the impacts and struggles the non-profit has made on the ground in one of the poorest nations in the Western hemisphere. She will highlight their creative strategies for partnerships and fundraising, including their collaboration with Tread by transforming waste into t-shirts and the Run Across Haiti program. Come to General Assembly to learn about this amazing organization tackling one of the biggest challenges in global poverty through comprehensive programs for those in need. A fireside chat led by Net Impact Los Angeles will provide attendees with insight on the collaborative space been non-profit and for-profit as well as methods for measuring and attaining social missions. Q&A will be offered after the talk and networking will occur before and after the event.
