[New Post] The Power of Work and Afterschool (Part 2) We believe that afterschool programs can play an essential role in workforce development and providing opportunities for older youth to work.

Great discussion with leaders who care. Glad to be on panel!
Last week, I moderated a panel about K-12 engagement with Wake County Public School System for the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce inter-city visit. As we all know, education is the foundation of the Research Triangle region. We discussed our ongoing effort with the workforce skills analysis and how it has positively impacted our educators and workforce partners. A fantastic group of people!

Did you know that one of this year's grant recipient's was the Apex Police Youth Enrichment Camp. In a world where community engagement and positive law enforcement interactions are vital, police youth summer camps have emerged as a beacon of hope and an opportunity for building strong relationships between law enforcement agencies and the younger generation. These camps provide a unique and enriching experience that goes beyond the conventional summer activities, fostering trust, understanding, and leadership skills among the youth. 2023 marked the 14th anniversary of the Apex Police Department’s Youth Enrichment Camp. The positive effects of YEC ripple beyond the participants themselves. As these young individuals return to their communities, they become ambassadors of understanding, sharing their experiences and insights with peers, family members, and neighbors. This leads to improved relationships between the police and the community at large, fostering a culture of trust and collaboration. In an era where building bridges between law enforcement agencies and the youth they serve is paramount, police youth summer camps emerge as a transformative force. Through fostering understanding, nurturing leadership skills, and creating lasting relationships, these camps lay the foundation for a brighter and more cohesive future.

This MLK Day, I’ve decided to reflect on the role of education in King’s life and how he defined greatness. As educators, as students, and as proponents of lifelong learning within our domain of applied financial knowledge, what can we learn from King’s stance on education? Here’s my perspective and I’d love to hear your thoughts too. https://lnkd.in/ezBnJesW Please share and comment. #mlkday2024 #educationisgreat #serviceisgreatness #financialservices
