About GiveBackLabs:
GiveBackLabs are an opportunity to dive deep in a specific issue area (think Green Tech, Reproductive Justice, Health Equity) alongside others who are as passionate about it as you are. Designed to be a shorter-sprint than the typical GiveBackHack event, but with all of the same key components: Impact, Community, and Ideas.
