A tailored education is indispensable for every child, enabling them to discover their unique gifts and passions. By recognizing individual strengths and fostering a sense of purpose, children are empowered to make meaningful contributions to society, as advocated by Picasso's quote, "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." This personalized approach not only cultivates resilience and self-confidence but also promotes inclusivity and equity, creating a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

I have shared about this before - but AmeriCorps allowed me the opportunity to serve my community as a first-generation college student. I used my AmeriCorps Segal Award to make monthly payments on my excessive student-loan debt. It was a game changer as someone who had to work almost full-time as a student and couldn't take on any internships while in college. Consider sending a message to your senators about increasing funding to AmeriCorps for FY25. "These proposed cuts come during a difficult time when demand for AmeriCorps is greater than the funding available. In fact, what is needed is more funding – not less. Without increased funding in FY25, more than 34,000 AmeriCorps and 6,000 AmeriCorps Seniors positions will be eliminated next year. The House bill would serve a death knell, eliminating at least 71,000 AmeriCorps positions. Congress is facing some challenging decisions about spending priorities and that is why we need to urge them to support AmeriCorps. There is an explosion of needs in our country and now is the time to invest in AmeriCorps, not cut it." - Voices for National Service https://lnkd.in/erry9bmU

Corporate College recently had the incredible opportunity to host executive leaders from 100 Black Men of America, Inc. for their executive leadership retreat. I had the privilege of leading a session titled "Education's Post-Pandemic Evolution: What We Provide Matters," and later joined Herman Bulls, vice chairman and international director at JLL, to discuss "Organizational Leadership, Governance, and Impact." Educational leaders, how do you see the role of education evolving in the post-pandemic world?
