Grateful to United Way of Delaware, Michelle A. Taylor, Ed.D., and Ken Livingston for exposing our Young Men United (YMU) participants to college life and helping them unlock their potential. Thank you for your dedication and support! 🙏🏾S/o to the partners/ universities that make things happen Big Brother Big Sisters of Delaware, Goldey-Beacom College and Morgan State University #Education 🧑🏾Our boys are not broken-- the systems are. 🛠 United Way National Young Men United (YMU) Initiative proposes to support local United Ways and young men of color in the United States over the next several years to increase their post-secondary attainment and workforce preparedness. Our shared objectives are to bolster the school to work pipeline in the United States by ensuring that young men of color who participate in this initiative realize their full leadership potential - as successful college graduates who are prepared to enter the workforce, and to be engaged in their communities. It is also to engage partners and donors to support the work of United Way related to closing critical gaps in education, the workforce, and addressing other inequities.  📺: https://lnkd.in/eXf8VnUG

There is a sign in a hard-to-reach area of the Rocky Mountain National Forest.  The sign reads: “The Mountain Doesn’t Care”. There are stories about talented and experienced climbers who did not survive their mountain adventures. The mountain did what mountains always do. It provided challenges that these climbers could not meet – and some number of them perished in their mountain journeys. We will take a small amount of poetic license and suggest “The Market Doesn’t Care”. The market for higher education does not care what college leaders and board members are trying to do. These leaders do not shape the market – the market shapes them. Don Tuttle, Chairman of the Board – Lindenwood University and Managing Partner, Top Gun Ventures LLC and I share a new paradigm for college presidential selections in this article. #collegeviability The Chronicle of Higher Education Inside Higher Ed

Happy International Day of Education! Education is at the forefront of our organization. Whether it's supporting the educational endeavors of minority students or developing educational programs to help support the small businesses that boost our local economy, it's what we are committed to. On this day, we want to highlight three of our amazing educational community partners. @mdcollege @fiuinstagram @fmu_official Miami Dade College, founded on the belief in universal access to higher education, provides over 300 distinct degree pathways at its eight campuses. Since 1998, MBF has supported this mission by endowing scholarships for minority students residing in the City of Miami. Florida International University (FIU) receives vital support from MBF, demonstrating a strong commitment to community advancement through initiatives such as the University-Wide Scholarship, First Generation Scholarship Program, Golden Scholars Program, and MBF MBA Scholarship for students in FIU's MBA Downtown or Professional MBA Flex programs. The MBF Scholarship at Florida Memorial University (FMU) was established in 2012 to encourage college achievement among City of Miami residents.

THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

For many of us, it is the first day of the Fall 2023 semester! Here's to the start of a great school year! And for me, this is the first week of my first year as a graduate student at the USC Rossier School of Education. What would you say are some best pieces of advice you can give me? The last time I was a student was when I finished my BA in History almost 13 years ago! Where did the time go? #usc #fighton #enrollmentmanagement #highereducation #highereducationleadership #firstgenerationcollegestudent #firstgen
