Four years after his parents fled the dictatorship of Haiti’s President François Duvalier, Jean-Claude Brizard — then 12 years old — was reunited with his family in New York. His parents’ sacrifice gave him the gift of opportunity, and in the four decades since then, Brizard has dedicated himself to giving every child he can that same feeling of hope. Read Brizard’s inspiring immigrant story — from teaching inmates at Rikers Island to leading Chicago’s public schools — in our latest comic.

The #SXSWEDU panel picker is live! Vote for KIPP Foundation, National Parents Union, and Carnegie Corporation of New York! The national conversation around postsecondary success has broadened to include career pathways such as job training and apprenticeship programs. But with many questioning the value of college, has the pendulum swung too far, too fast? Vote for Shavar Jeffries, Keri Rodrigues, and Farhad Asghar to discuss how we can better support students and families to navigate options and improve access to programs that maximize opportunities for students' futures. https://hubs.ly/Q02KS5740

The United States and Russia are often cast as polar opposites, positioned at either ends of the political and cultural spectra. Where do the youth populations of both countries stand in reality? New Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Levada Center polling sheds some light. Visit: https://lnkd.in/ew6qhjdG

Only 28% of Americans are satisfied with the state of U.S. democracy, but less than 1% of total giving from American philanthropies was related to #Democracy and #CivicEngagement. When funders do give to these causes, we often see it done in the frantic run-up to an election, when it's likely too late to make a difference. At @CarnegieCorporation, we believe cultivating civic engagement is a marathon, not a sprint – the election isn't the endpoint. In this @InsidePhilanthropy article, I spoke with @Mike Scutari about how writ-large democracy is very underfunded, our approach to providing nonpartisan support to organizations securing voting rights and getting people to the ballot box, and why, even if you’re a healthcare funder or an environmental funder, you should be a civic engagement funder, because frankly, voting and civic engagement should be a priority for every issue-based group. Give it a read and let me know what you think: https://lnkd.in/ecjWdSmN

Growing up in an Irish seaside town with a population of 3,000, I took a sense of community for granted. On my first day in secondary school, I remember being introduced to a nun who had taught both my mother and my grandmother. At the time, I found it somewhat suffocating. Looking back, I see the layers of unspoken mutual support, the extra bread and cakes made for a neighbor, the extra children staying for meals, the extra people in the car for any long journey. In the Local Issue of the #CarnegieReporter magazine, we focus on the importance of local leaders in strengthening our democracy at a time of growing polarization. We tell stories about civic heroes, from librarians to educators, who draw communities together. We learn from leaders like governors Spencer Cox and Gov. Wes Moore, who — in a remarkable dialogue with Judy Woodruff — teach us how to “disagree better”. We share insights from policymakers, journalists, academics, and humanitarians who are finding solutions to polarization and rebuilding the forces of social cohesion. Through a comic series, we show you the experiences of naturalized citizens who have contributed immensely to our country and are part of our annual #GreatImmigrants tribute. I invite you to read their stories today. I hope that in doing so, you will feel, as I do, some sense of optimism that there are so many smart, creative, compassionate Americans working toward a stronger democracy. We at Carnegie are committed to identifying these extraordinary women and men, and are honored to be able to support their work. https://lnkd.in/eR2Hwv87

“There were 55 of us, and we just sat quietly in the dark. My eyes were just fixed on the bottom of the door, looking for the shadow of somebody walking by.” In 2018, librarian Diana Haneski protected 50 students and five faculty within a barricaded equipment room during the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Since that day, Haneski has transformed the library into a sanctuary for students’ mental health: “I want students to feel that it’s a refuge, that it’s a safe haven for them,” she says. 📚 The Secret Life of Librarians explores the unexpected stories of librarians like Diana — civic heroes who improve lives and bring communities together. Get to know all 10 librarians at: https://lnkd.in/e4pxaiMn ✨ In partnership with American Library Association and The New York Public Library. #ILoveMyLibrarian #Libraries
