Transforming Futures: Join Our #BeThePath Campaign 🌟 Update on Our Journey Good day, LinkedIn community! As our #BeThePath fundraising campaign for the Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI) continues, I'm filled with gratitude for the amazing support we've received. It's heartening to see so many of you, including several new supporters, join us in this crucial mission. Your contributions are truly making a difference, helping us move closer to our goal each day. This is just the beginning of our journey together, and every donation brings us a step further in transforming the lives of our students. 🎓 Spotlight on Success: Krystal's Story Today, I want to highlight a remarkable story from our community. Meet Krystal, a former BLCI student who discovered her true passion thanks to a pivotal internship experience with us. Originally on a path to engineering, Krystal realized through her internship that it wasn't her calling. This early insight allowed her to refocus, saving years of schooling and financial resources. Now, Krystal is not only forging a new path for herself but also giving back to BLCI. Read more about Krystal's journey here - https://lnkd.in/ggCDMSdh. 🔍 Why Your Support Matters Each story like Krystal's underscores the impact of BLCI. We provide essential after-school programs at no cost, guiding underserved students to be the first in their families to attend and graduate college. However, the growing need for our services means we need more support. It costs us over $5,000 per student each year to offer these life-changing programs. 💡 Your Role in Ending Poverty Through Education Donations are 100% tax-deductible and go directly towards academic support, workshops, and training that prepare students for college and beyond. By donating, you're not just supporting a student; you're investing in their future and the future of our community. 🙏 How to Donate Please support our mission with a tax-deductible donation. Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue our work and allows more students like Krystal to find their path. 👉 Donate now at https://mtyc.co/4au4eg and be a part of this transformative journey. Thank you for being part of our story and for believing in the power of education. Let’s continue to #BeThePath together!

Consider donating to this wonderful non-profit organization that puts on the incredible "Summer YESS" Program! Bethany and I had the privilege of being invited last year to observe the program in action, and we witnessed firsthand the profound impact the kids, volunteers, and staff made on each other. The Summer YESS (Youth Education Summer Socialization) program offers opportunities that no other program can, creating a truly unique experience for everyone involved. Through the collaboration between AbilityPoint, Wichita’s USD 259, The Wichita Department of Park and Recreation, and Sedgwick County, YESS provides education, recreation, and socialization in a community setting. There is no other program like YESS in the nation, offering students, families, and the community a chance to develop friendships, build self-esteem, gain independence, and experience personal growth. Why Summer School? Special Education teachers spend approximately 85% of the fall quarter re-teaching what was lost over the summer. In YESS, students can continue in an educational setting, maintaining what they learned while developing new social skills. The students are challenged through fun educational activities relating to a weekly theme, providing a common goal for all the classes and creating an exciting learning environment. These themes unleash the students’ and teachers’ creativity, and the results are always exhilarating. Let’s support this amazing program and make a difference in the lives of these incredible students. Your donation can help keep the magic of YESS alive, ensuring that more kids can benefit from the exceptional opportunities it offers. Together, we can create a brighter future!

“Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future: Living by ‘Res Non Verba’ at FSU” “Res Non Verba”—Deeds, Not Words. This guiding principle from Fayetteville State University (FSU) has been a cornerstone for me since my time as a student, class of 1993. Supporting my alma mater is not just about honoring my roots; it’s about actively investing in our shared future. Whether it’s through mentorship, involvement, or giving back, it’s our actions that truly make a difference. Supporting your alma mater is more than just a donation, it’s about giving back to the institution that shaped your journey. Whether it’s mentoring students, participating in alumni events, or contributing resources, every effort helps build a stronger community and a next generation. It’s a way to honor the legacy that continues to shape future generations, ensuring that the value of our education continues to grow. Let’s uplift the places that laid our foundations and continue to pave the way for others. Let’s be about our educational business while ensuring that our deeds make a lasting impact. #FSUAlumni #ResNonVerba #BroncoPride #GiveBack #Education #GenerationalWealth #Legacy #HBCU #CollegeLife #Donate #AlmaMater #Universities #MasterMinds #Educators #Supporters #GoodDeeds #FayettevilleNC

Minds Matter is the real deal when it comes to changing lives for #FGLI students. Every single one of our students gets into a 4-year college (compared to less that half of all first-generation, low-income students). The work we do is important now more than ever as we look to a future where the only way to overcome inter-generational wealth disparities is through higher education. 🔥 Donating to Minds Matter ignites a future full of potential. Will you be the spark? https://lnkd.in/dHZYU2bq
