A virtual conversation:
Getting to the Point: The Kennedy Legacy and the Call to Service ([link removed])
Thursday, June 4, at 2:00 p.m. EST via Zoom webinar
[link removed]
President John F. Kennedy and Senator Edward M. Kennedy were champions of service, helping build the modern national service movement through the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, and other initiatives. On March 25, the National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service released its report, Inspired to Serve ([link removed]) , with 164 recommendations and a long-term goal to create a renewed culture of service, where every American is eager and inspired to serve.

Nearly 60 years ago, President Kennedy inspired generations of Americans to “ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” Now, as the harmful impacts of the novel coronavirus continue to unfold, many are asking how they can stay engaged in civic life and play a role in helping build community resilience.

Join the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, and the National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service for a discussion on how building a culture of service can strengthen our communities and our democracy.

This program will be held virtually on Zoom and registrants will receive a link to the webinar via email.

A virtual conversation:
** Dual Pandemics: Global Youth Perspectives on Fighting HIV and COVID-19 ([link removed])

Friday, June 12, at 10:00 a.m. EST via Zoom webinar
** ([link removed])
As COVID-19 has changed our world, global leaders, national governments, and health care providers are rallying to protect the communities they serve. There are many parallels between the current-day situation and the early days of the HIV epidemic when Senator Edward M. Kennedy made the fight for resources and understanding the disease a legislative priority. One of our current challenges is that the novel coronavirus is placing strains on HIV service delivery as lockdowns increase globally, borders are closed, supply chains are disrupted and the public health system is increasingly strained.

Join the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) for a conversation with youth leaders from Africa and the United States to discuss the realities that young people face in managing their HIV, continuing their medications, adapting peer support, and confronting COVID-19 and HIV as these two pandemics impact our communities simultaneously.

Moderated by Michael Gerson, columnist at The Washington Post, the conversation will include:
* Chip Lyons, President & CEO, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
* Josephine Nabukenya, HIV-positive youth advocate, Uganda

This program will be held virtually on Zoom and registrants will receive a link to the webinar via email.
