It is so important for students to see themselves represented in influential leadership positions at school, showing them what's possible for their own lives and careers. However, while the number of school-aged Black and Latino children has increased significantly, Black and Latino men make up only 13% of school principals in the U.S. To help ensure students see themselves reflected in the educators and leaders around them, NFBLME: The National Fellowship for Black and Latino Male Educators is working to close this gap. Through its unique programming, the organization helps Black and Latino men become principals and leaders throughout the education sector. https://lnkd.in/eeH-Jmwg

I cannot speak highly enough about the great program that the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce puts on every year. Being a young(er) leader in an organization, especially one that oversees higher-level employees, can be challenging in ways you may not initially realize. Building camaraderie and professional relationships with a smaller and smaller number of peers as you move up the chain can be isolating. The Community Leadership Insitute (CLI) can provide young leaders with the peer-to-peer guidance, professional relationships, and frankly friendships that are so critical to the growth of young leaders in Central Mass. For a region that is often times overlooked, NCMCoC is doing their part to prepare the next cohort of true economic and community leaders. Thanks to Kat Deal and Roy Nascimento for their continued leadership in North Central Mass. #ncmcoc #leadership

The more I learn about VEL, the more I understand its significance. It’s not a networking group, or a lead generating service or a pay-to-play opportunity. VEL is a choice. If each person is a balloon, and tied to that balloon are our fears, failures, anxieties and doubt - all the different things that keep that balloon from reaching new heights - VEL can help you choose to cut those things loose. They don’t do the cutting or even act as the scissors. You do the work, but VEL helps you understand where and how to start. As the balloon climbs, a greater perspective is found. One that shows more of the road ahead and the purpose behind the effort. “Discovering Parts Within” is the cornerstone program VEL stands on. It welcomes a very small amount of candidates each year. It’s only goal is to help particiants cut their balloons loose. It’s the same style of instruction our founder has provided to NASA and executives across multiple industries. Love to tell you more. We have three spots left for the next DPW session. #heyfahey #velinstitute #purpose

Founder and CEO of Young Visionaries Youth Leadership Academy and Terrance Stone School and Community Consultants, Terrance Stone, recently spoke to High Desert Youth about the significance of persevering towards your goals and dreams, despite negative influences that may try to derail you. Mr. Stone's message was clear: don't let anything stop you from achieving your aspirations. Negative influences can come in many forms, such as peer pressure, societal norms, and even self-doubt. However, it's important to stay focused on your goals and not give in to these negative influences. As the CEO of two organizations that focus on youth leadership and community development, Mr. Stone has seen firsthand the positive impact that can come from staying true to your goals and dreams. His message resonated with the High Desert Youth, inspiring them to stay motivated and persevere towards their own aspirations. Remember, it's important to stay focused on your goals and not let negative influences hold you back. Keep pushing forward and striving towards your dreams!
