I want to reshare this post I made earlier this month as the KJS Legacy Project works to raise $5,000 by the end of September to continue funding scholarships to students at Trumbull, CT and at American University. Please consider given to keep Kevin's legacy alive: On this 4th of July, we observed another sad milestone. It’s hard to believe, but it has been nine years since Kevin’s tragic passing. For his family and friends, the pain of our loss is still deeply felt. We miss his kind and caring nature and that big grin of his. He had prepared himself to do great things - to have a positive impact on the world. Kevin’s career was just starting. He had such a bright future ahead of him - so much that he wanted to accomplish. And because his life was interrupted, those of us he left behind have dedicated ourselves to carrying on his legacy - working to accomplish some of the things he never got to do. And that is what the KJS Legacy Project (KJSLP) is all about. To date, the KJSLP has helped to fund five scholarships in the AU School of Public Affairs, four internships on Capitol Hill, and two high school scholarships. This year, we seek to expand Kevin’s legacy with the goal of making our impact even greater through increased endowments at AU and by funding an endowment for the Trumbull High School Scholarship. Toward that end, we are launching the Summer 2024 KJSLP Outreach. During the months of July, August and September, we have set a goal of raising $5,000 to support our various programs. In talking with our scholarship recipients, it is clear that we are making a real impact on their career trajectory. Kevin’s life-story is a powerful example that these students relate to and use as a guide as they make decisions along the way in their life’s journey. With your continued support, we will continue to expand that impact and encourage more students to follow in Kevin’s footsteps seeking to create that more perfect Union our founders sought to create!

Today marks a monumental step forward for our students in grades 6-12 as Charlotte County Public Schools officially launches the Career Planning Guide. This innovative guide is designed to empower our young learners to make informed decisions about their future, helping them to choose their “E” - whether that be Enrolled, Enlisted, or Employed. The Career Planning Guide is more than just a document; it’s a comprehensive pathway to success. It includes sections on career exploration, detailed guidance on choosing your “E”, and a personalized checklist that corresponds to your selected “E”. This approach ensures that every student has the tools and knowledge they need to confidently step into their future. Spotlight on Success: To illustrate the impact of making such a pivotal decision, we invite you to watch an inspiring video where a student shares his journey and reasoning for choosing to Enlist. This story highlights the thoughtfulness and dedication our students are putting into their futures, and we couldn’t be prouder. We believe that every student has a unique path to success, and the Career Planning Guide is here to illuminate the way. Let’s support our students as they explore, decide, and embark on their journeys towards a promising future. https://lnkd.in/eFe4AYe9 #GetThereFL #cte
