Inspire Speaker Series

Highlights from our 2026 Inspire Speaker Series Student Events and Preview Nights

For the first time ever, our Student Speaker Series was held in 2 cities: Detroit and Grand Rapids, reaching more than 2,000 students with a powerful message of resilience, gratitude, and the importance of embracing a GET TO® mindset.

Each student event was preceded by a special Preview Night, bringing together community members, supporters, and partners to celebrate the launch of the series, connect with our mission, and help build momentum for the impact ahead.

Together, these events brought students and communities together around one shared message: shifting our perspective from “have to” to “get to” can change the way we approach life's challenges and opportunities.
