Learn to Earn Dayton

This October, Barbra Stonerock, vice president of Community Engagement for The Dayton Foundation, attended the StriveTogether 2024 Cradle to Career Network Convening. She, along with representatives from Montgomery County Educational Service Center, Omega CDC and Preschool Promise, Inc., presented information to, learned from and connected with other organizations around the nation working to advance equitable outcomes for children. Takeaways from the conference include how partnerships, data and leveraging philanthropy are helping communities across the nation work together to create lasting change for young people, from cradle to career. We’re excited to see how the knowledge and experience from this convening inspires new and existing efforts in our region.

At a recent quarterly meeting for Community Investment Fund recipients, Learn to Earn Dayton CEO Stacy Schweikhart shared insights to help nonprofits build boards for growth and sustainability. We have been thrilled to see the development of the community-based nonprofits participating in this cohort and are proud of the impact they have made in Northwest Dayton.

A student’s attendance, starting in preschool and continuing through the elementary grades into high school, directly correlates with the student’s academic success. While attendance improvements can begin in a single classroom or school, the most effective and sustainable approaches are data-driven and supported by strong community leadership. That's why Learn to Earn Dayton and Dayton 6th together with critical regional partners and the Dayton Men and Women's Basketball teams have joined forces to spread the word that EVERY DAY in School Matters. Absenteeism cannot be solved by any one person, school, or agency. Learn more and join the work to support strong attendance, and hold all stakeholders—students, families, educators, agencies and community partners—responsible for helping to reduce chronic absence.  https://lnkd.in/eESfB6Vj #everydaymatters #attendanceworks
