Speaking Engagements
The Courageous Steps Project’s Step Forward program is devoted to helping children and young adults with developmental challenges. Through our mission and vision statement, we are committed to raising awareness of developmental challenges, and channeling resources to programs that help these individuals in school and life.
Through our speaking engagements, our founder & CEO Connor Archer works to engage the audience by providing personal experiences that impact adults and children in our society.
As we are transitioning into a 501(c)3 organization, speaking engagements will become a common source of funds that will continue to help more programs that help children and young adults with developmental challenges. A breakdown of our different kinds of speaking engagements & events are listed below.
