We have a clear mission here at SCFU: leverage our collective influence and resources to drive tangible change in historically underrepresented communities. Our third year of operations has been an insightful one, and we could not be prouder to share our 2022-23 Impact Report with you! Over the past year, we’ve partnered with organizations such as DonorsChoose to uplift Black Male educators, hosted more than 50 youth from YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles and Ladies of Virtue (LOVChicago) to The Nutcracker reimagined for the holidays, and helped provided relief to thousands of residents in the height of the Jackson Water Crisis. We encourage you to learn more about our work – and the incredible community-based organizations we’ve partnered with – by taking a look at the 2022-23 Impact Report https://lnkd.in/gEtB3fy3. There is more work to do, we encourage you to join us in this journey room on this journey because #ItTakesAVillage. Aida M. Carmen Green-Wilson Lisa Joseph Metelus Asani Swann, MBA Brittany N.
