At Next Step Academics, we believe access to education and opportunity should not be limited by socioeconomic status, background, or circumstance. That's why our team of experienced counselors and mentors work tirelessly to open doors for students who need it most. We provide personalized support, resources, and guidance to help students take the next step in their academic and career journeys - whether that's pursuing higher education, vocational training, military service, or other goals. Our comprehensive programs empower students to overcome obstacles, achieve their full potential, and open new doors of possibility. But we can't do it alone.

The explanation is easy… many in the first group live in an ideal, unreal world in which they do not produce anything or do not run any financial risks in their careers, so they do not know where money comes from. The other group are the ones who sweat their necks to produce the food and goods we all need. They run risks everyday, like bankruptcy, risk of storms, wars, tax raises, etc. So, while they need a strong and stable economy so they can thrive, the first group live out of the "government's" money - tax money.

Every Child Online is proud to support three Royal Air Force Cadet squadrons. The RAF, spanning 40,000 members aged 13-20, provides young people with the skills and experiences to help them succeed, including a digital education. Due to teacher shortages after the pandemic, many young cadets are deprived of essential IT skills at school; some have not used a PC before. The RAF’s Astra Strategy works to tackle this, encouraging young people to get involved and excited about learning cyber security. In partnering with us, we provide laptops, desktops, and PCs to help fund their cadets’ online training. Together, we continue to bridge the digital divide. #everychildonline #itfullcircle #passiton #digitalinclusion #socialvalue #socialimpact #equalopportunities #TechForGood #digitalliteracy #digitaldivide #digitalisolation #socialgood #laptops #pcs #schools #charities #socialvaluematters #circulareconomy #learning #education #children #education Our supporting partners: Essex Ford, Allen Motor Group, #EssexFord #EssexFordTransitCentre #AllenFord, Kennedys, Sunrise Technologies Ltd, Essex Community Foundation.

Check out my podcast interview, about embracing uniqueness, with the Military Child Education Coalition ( MCEC). We discussed the non-profit I founded (www.donthideitflauntit.org), our new online Project Flaunt Hub SEL program for students, families that is also specifically tailored for the military (www.projectflaunthub.com), as well as my book, Born Extraordinary: Empowering Children with Differences & Disabilities (www.megzucker.com). https://lnkd.in/eYW6erTu

My Initial Military Education at Norwich Offers A Lesson to Elite Civilian Universities... I am not in this photo... Nevertheless, the photo is piercing! I think the cadets have hand and arm raised to observe the Norwich honor code. Am not sure. These days I am still a lean mean fightin' machine *Just OLD and Still Handsome with a declining memory, Haha. I cannot remember most of the customs and traditions of the NU Corps of Cadets. HA, ha. I wrote this piece and need to change the title in the essay itself (commas?) and get spellcheck to include "Corps of Cadets" not "Corps of Cadet"...Ha, all my fault as I rushed to get this out for the great Veteran Non-Profit Coming Home Well. Well... Even with exposing these cosmetic flaws, the message is clear: My military education at Norwich included an honor code animated by cadets, professors, and administrators; it was all based on the virtue of charity. This is something elite universities, especially those universities of the "Ivy" IV League can learn from... Basically, honor code issues can be resolved by exhibiting charity. A university board should not weaponize an honor code to condemn a university president, professor, or student.
