Every year, the Global Shapers Hub of San Francisco tackle one or more projects to make a positive impact on San Francisco. On October 2, 2016, the Hub hosted Project Pitch Day to pitch the projects that are currently underway to our community as a call to action to contribute time, resources, and ideas to the projects. This year, our Allies project is starting a movement to scale up Bay Area diversity and inclusion initiatives. If you would like to get involved with a project, you can do so at http://bit.ly/contact-shaper-projects-2016
