How can we transform schools into Beloved Communities? ✨ ❤️ TEL Executive Director, Meena Srinivasan, shares the vision in this video clip!

Community is the heartbeat of society, a tapestry of connections that offers support, belonging, and a sense of shared purpose. Today, I'm grateful for the strength and resilience of our communities, which unite us in times of joy and adversity. Who embodies the spirit of community and works tirelessly to build connections and support those in need? Send them a card adorned with symbols of unity and solidarity, expressing your gratitude for their leadership and the sense of belonging they foster.

#𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐬 - 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Hi, CivicChats, I'm continuing my theme of talking about community. I thought I'd cover a couple of things that have come up this week. Furthermore, I've been questioned about, well, Bruce, you know, you talk about community, and then you won't do other things. And what's interesting is those other things are that people are asking me for help and, are not willing to do the work in any way to get that help. So, a community is not a free handout or as I sometimes call it on LinkedIn. It's not a magnificent shopping mall where you can just ask people for stuff or make offers or just basically only look after what you want. For me, the community is about mutual respect. It's the mutual trust, and it's the mutual time it takes to understand what our needs are. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞, 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Thank you for listening. https://lnkd.in/gKTRrsMZ #𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 #𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲

IMPACT 23 Nonprofit Spotlight: Orange County United Way Purpose Moment Livi Kerszenbaum, MBA, Sr. Director, Corporate Social Responsibility at OC United Way, shared a personal story underscoring life's unpredictability. Facing sudden responsibility as her husband recovered from a motorcycle accident, Kerszenbaum emphasized the importance of support systems, savings, and access to assistance. Highlighting the 'OC Way' of community support, OC United Way focuses on three key initiatives: Financial Security, Student Success, and Ending Homelessness. These efforts impact over a million lives annually, addressing graduation rates, family stability, and homelessness. Kerszenbaum emphasized the human inclination to contribute socially, citing OC United Way's 211 program connecting residents to vital services. Engaging in community service, she noted, correlates with improved mental well-being and longer life expectancies. The presentation concluded with a call for audience participation in a purposeful moment—sending words of encouragement for struggling veterans. The cards collected would be distributed to local veterans facing homelessness. #IMPACT23 #IMA #internetmarketing #OCUW #OrangeCountyUnitedWay #Veterans #PurposeMoment #Ai
