Award-wining journalist, writer and social entrepreneur, Maria Karagianis, spoke to Longmont Rotary about the Boston based non-profit organization, Discovering Justice. Maria was the founding executive director of Discovering Justice, a nationally recognized democracy and justice education organization. Maria independently created the vision and most of the intellectual capital for Discovering Justice. Its activities include mock trials, plays with professional actors about themes from American constitutional history using courtrooms as theaters, docent-led architectural tours, and a ground-breaking civics curriculum called "Children Discovering Justice,” now taught to thousands of children in the Boston public schools. Today, Discovering Justice has blossomed into a nonprofit with 14 full- and part-time employees and a $1.2 million budget. Nice work Maria! We are lucky to have you as a member of Longmont Rotary!
