Netwalks hosts a monthly series of promoting local businesses and community vitality by combining wellness, engagement, and creativity on a 1.5 - to 2-mile relaxed leisure paced walk for all fitness levels in different walkable neighborhoods throughout Washington, DC, and surrounding areas. We want you to feel happier, healthier, and more connected to your internal and external community.

We provide opportunities to meet your neighbors fostering deeper connections (we facilitate conversation during the breaks), discover hidden gems and parks, explore the vibrancy of neighborhoods through meeting local businesses owners and creatives, walk and talk with business and social impact leaders as a way to connect, build a stronger community, break down barriers (walking outside is a shared space), increase collaboration, and stay healthy all at the same time.

Shared Learning Dialogue:

How can team building help you meet the increased demands for bold solutions to urgent problems and high expectations for impact with limited resources? Can social innovation be scaled up? Why should you look more closely into job and volunteer responsibilities rather than the job title to help you meet friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and career advancement?

Our Social Impact Leaders:

Kimberley Jutze is the Founder and Chief Change Architect of Shifting Patterns Consulting, which is a Certified B Corporation that helps changemaker leaders get their team members on the same page and put collaborative processes in place to achieve social, economic, and environmental impact.

Greg Payne is the President & Principal, Emerging Market Enterprises, LLC. Greg guides executives and managers in for-profit and non-profit social enterprises through strategy, business development, impact measurement, and scaling initiatives.

Jessica Tunon, Founder and CEO Netwalking, LLC. Jess will facilitate our gathering by maximizing your time, energy, to have authentic, extraordinary experiences, shared.
