Summary

We discovered Junlei Li when we watched the Mr Rogers documentary, "Won't You Be My Neighbor." The clips featuring him were so insightful and encouraging that we just knew we had to hear his story. Junlei serves the co-chair of the Human Development and Education Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. His research and practice focuses on understanding and supporting the work of helpers — those who serve children and families on the frontlines of education and social services.
