New Year, New Cheer for ACF! Community. 🏘️ ~ Empowering Our Community Through Volunteering ~ Our ACF 2024 mantra is "Impactful Outreach," and we gladly kickstarted our first week of 2024 through a golden networking opportunity for our ACF teen founders at the global 1517 Fund Ice Cream Social on Jan. 4. 👏 Volunteer. Impact. Honor. 👏 In 2024, ACF allows you to volunteer for causes dear to your heart and get certified for hours towards the “Congressional Award” and “Presidential Award” within the United States. Our previous exemplary student interns have been awarded for their invaluable and positive contribution towards community empowerment in STEM. The beauty of volunteering is that it can enrich not just our students but also their peers, siblings, guardians, teachers, mentors, club leaders, families, and groups. The “Presidential Award” rewards all age and community groups based on service benchmarks. Help Spread the Word! Our volunteering opportunities are one of the most integral and impactful facets to help fulfill our ambitious 2024 wishlist! ACF provides a rewarding experience for all volunteers through autonomy, personal growth, leadership, creativity, and real-time impact. https://lnkd.in/gF4dC8Gh . . . . #team #technology #community #experience #science #acf #appliedcomputing #appliedcomputingfoundation #sustainability #innovation #genz #changemakers #coding #education #learnbuildapply #learn #build #apply #ethicalinnovation #entrepreneurship #teenentrepreneurship #entrepreneurs #collaboration #leadership #startup #impact #startupcommunity #startupecosystem #volunteering

Today's visit was to a place really close to my heart ❤️ I've always loved mentoring and supporting young people to thrive, and my meeting today with Mark Kirby at the Olive Academy to talk collaboration was really inspiring 🌟 This amazing organisation is working with some of the most disadvantaged and at-risk young people in our Cambridgeshire community. Mainstream school didn't fit the 50 young people here, and therefore they are in an alternative education provision from years 9-11. They can face trauma and barriers to attainment but possess huge potential 🌱 I have worked and supported young people who have attended this place for over 25 years and when the opportunity arose to collaborate I grabbed it with both hands 🤝 If you want to invest in the future of young people to change generational cycles, support them and their families to thrive, and create pathways for them to be more economically active and reach their potential, drop me a message 📩 Mark is keen to build partnerships with local businesses who want to share their time, skills, finances and resources to do good and that align with their values 🌎🌱❤️ and of course this is what I help organisations with and how to build a strategy around this - we are exploring ideas 💡 This provision is on the cutting edge of improving lives of young people that dabble with crime and prison unless steps are taken to intervene 🤝 Want to link in❓ Let’s start a conversation; Drop me a DM! #businessasaforceforgood #YouthEmpowerment #socialimpact

Apologies for the radio silence lately, I'm a few hours a day short of being able to maintain a social life! You know, just the typical running a nonprofit, two toddlers, and teenager hustle. All jokes aside, I've been completely immersed in our work with Start-Up. Some of you might recall that last year we launched a pilot program called Camp CommUnity in the rural community of Wimberley, Texas and after so many remarkable successes, our board opted to prioritize the advancement of this program, so we've been busy building. We recently launched our website and strategic vision for CU and I couldn't be more excited to share. Here's an excerpt about why we're putting CU first: "Camp CommUnity wasn’t just a pilot; it was a powerful evolution of where we were-- and where we were going, aligning perfectly with our vision for our children, their education, and the future they deserve. While this new program wasn’t based on entrepreneurship, it was fostering a sense of belonging, community, and empowerment in our children. It was equipping them with the skills and resilience they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. It was bigger than Start-Up Kids Club---and it's bigger than Wimberley." To read our full strategic plan, click below. Just like us, it's not traditional and I absolutely love that. Please feel free to share any feedback. And- I'll try to check in more, but please know I'm always a call, text, or email away.

Given the recent upsurge in moral decadence in the society, A lot have put ourselves out to do the work! No, we won't let the good morals and values we were raised with go to waste. We have the power to raise the next generation in a way that is pleasing and morally upright. So, what are you waiting for? This is my mission. Get enrolled into the Academy today.
