Almost 100 guests participated in our virtual benefit on October 27 co-hosted by Helen Tsanos Sheinman (BYkids Board) and Isabel Sheinman (BYkids Junior Board) with a lively conversation about the transformative power of film in this era of virtual learning with storytellers, educators and students including Holly Carter, BYkids Founder and Executive Director; Kristina Kirtley, WNET Senior Producer, Content and Youth Engagement; Dustin Liu, global education advocate and student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education; Qetsiyah Lynch, sophomore, City College; Brian Mateo, Bard College Associate Dean of Civic Engagement and moderated by Matt Nink, President, Nink Group Educational Consulting.
