A decade after the Flint water crisis drew national attention to the health dangers — particularly to children and infants — of using lead pipes to deliver drinking water, a new federal rule requires that such pipes be replaced within 10 years. Water poisoning from lead pipes was brought to national attention through the research and determination of a local Flint pediatrician, and immigrant, Dr. Mona Hanna, who publicized the problem and spearheaded the community’s recovery to make sure the American dream is still possible for the city’s 10,000 children. 👉 Discover Dr. Mona’s #ImmigrantStory in the latest #GreatImmigrants comic: https://lnkd.in/ecRE9fDA 💡 #DidYouKnow: 26% of practicing physicians and surgeons in the United States are foreign-born?

What does real economic opportunity look like in today’s rapidly changing job market? For Jaelyn Ibarra, it meant enrolling in an innovative apprenticeship program in Indiana. With over 60,000 unfilled job openings across the state, CareerWise Elkhart County is helping to address critical labor shortages while offering people like Jaelyn a chance to build sustainable careers in high-demand fields. Unlike traditional education paths, CareerWise's apprenticeship model integrates on-the-job training with classroom learning, giving participants a direct pipeline to employment. Jaelyn’s story is just one of many illustrating how this approach provides economic mobility for workers, particularly those who may not have access to traditional higher education. As Indiana’s workforce continues to evolve, could their model be a blueprint for closing the skills gap nationwide? 📰 Read the full article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/etdPDx7K #CollectiveLeadership #Education #CivicEngagement #SkillsGap #Apprenticeship

With growing concerns about foreign policy issues and U.S. democracy, we invited five Carnegie grantees — experts in the field of international peace and security whose foreign policy projects look at domestic impact — to respond (in approximately 100 words or fewer) to the question: How do foreign policy decisions affect local U.S. communities? Read insights from: 🔹 Alexandra Guisinger – Temple University 🔹 Lillian Mauldin – Women for Weapons Trade Transparency 🔹 Sébastien Philippe – Princeton University 🔹 Jon Temin – Truman Center for National Policy 🔹 Martin Wainstein – Open Earth Foundation 👉 https://lnkd.in/gBZmUqcJ #ForeignPolicy #InternationalRelations #GlobalAffairs

Special thanks to the heads of New York City’s three library systems — Linda E. Johnson, Tony Marx, and Dennis M. Walcott — for demonstrating how trusted public institutions can inspire and inform people of all ages and backgrounds. They gave a mesmerizing presentation to our board this week about the services they are providing to New Yorkers old and new, young and old. In 1901 our founder, Andrew Carnegie gave the largest philanthropic gift of its time, $5.2M to establish 65 branch libraries in New York City. Having educated himself by borrowing books from a library, he wanted to ensure that others would have the same opportunity. In his 1886 book Triumphant Democracy, he wrote of the generosity of the U.S. in integrating immigrants by inviting them to be “not only with us, but be of us.” So we believe that supporting English language instruction is very much true to his ideals. Through the foundation’s grants to NYC libraries, we are also supporting their efforts to provide teens with more opportunities for civic engagement as well as career and college advice. Libraries are an extraordinary and trusted mechanism for providing much-needed services. They are also a crucial source for reliable, fact-based information. Their freely accessible books ignite the imagination and their literature inculcates empathy. These are among the reasons Carnegie is returning to our philanthropic roots and renewing our commitment to libraries as trusted civic spaces that raise our spirits and strengthen our democracy. #Libraries #Philanthropy
Today, Carnegie Corporation of New York announced a return to its historic roots with $4 million in grants to public libraries across New York City, including Brooklyn Public Library, Queens Public Library, and The New York Public Library. Andrew Carnegie and his foundation invested $56 million to fund the construction of more than 2,500 libraries worldwide, including nearly 1,700 libraries in the United States — among them 65 libraries in New York City — between 1881 and 1917. The new grants will support services at the 65 Carnegie branch libraries, among other locations. For adults, this means addressing the demand for language classes, which can have wait lists of up to two years, and enhancing employment-related services that prepare students with the vocabulary needed to pass vocational certification exams. For teens, the foundation’s support will expand existing services, including college counseling and workplace readiness; opportunities for civic-minded activities with peers; and access to safe gathering spaces. Additional September 2024 grants include support for the Library of Congress, a new initiative that will use emerging technologies to improve public engagement with historic materials, and a grant to the American Library Association to continue the#ILoveMyLibrarian Award, which the foundation started in 2008 to honor outstanding public, academic, and school librarians.

Carnegie Corporation of New York is pleased to announce that Stephen J. Del Rosso will serve as the next vice president of the International Program, effective January 1, 2025. Del Rosso will succeed Deana Arsenian, who is retiring after nearly three decades of service. “On behalf of our trustees and staff, I would like to thank Deana for her outstanding intellectual leadership and indefatigable efforts to build a more secure, peaceful, and prosperous world,” said Louise Richardson DBE, president of the foundation and former head of the University of Oxford. “I am confident that as the new vice president of the International Program, Steve will bring the strategic vision, commitment, and foreign policy experience needed to address our most critical global issues, not least the political polarization that undermines foreign policy decisions and the country’s standing internationally." The foundation also welcomes Omotade (Tade) Akin Aina, senior program director of the Higher Education and Research in Africa program, and James McKeon, program officer in the International Peace and Security program, who will manage the program’s nuclear security portfolio. The International Program disburses about $60 million per year in philanthropic funds, making Carnegie one of the largest private funders working in areas such as nuclear nonproliferation, U.S.-China relations, Russian studies, and African higher education.
