Today we are outside City Hall calling on NYC Mayor Eric Adams to #SaveLTW, a vital program for young adults. Through Learning To Work (LTW), young adults who have struggled in the traditional high school setting get another chance to earn a diploma, while getting the support they need to succeed: academics, emotional well-being, counseling, and career guidance. LTW even offers paid internships, letting students earn a paycheck and explore potential careers while going to school. This incredibly successful program, however, is in jeopardy. This June, the DOE is considering cutting up to 72% of LTW funding. This threatens the futures of 16,000 promising young adults across 66 Transfer High Schools and 19 Young Adult Borough Centers (YABCs). NYC needs LTW to ensure no young person falls through the cracks! #nyc #queensnyc #education #graduation #employment #youthemployment #learningtowork #fundltw #highschool #diploma #advocacy #nycityhall #nycmayor

Industry can and should play a crucial role in supporting public education through advocacy. Leveraging its influence, resources, and expertise, it can help improve education. Businesses can collaborate with educational institutions by partnering with K-12 schools, colleges, and universities to create programs that bridge the gap between education and industry needs. These collaborations can involve internships, externships, or apprenticeships. Travis County and City of Austin sponsors Summer Youth Employment Program. https://lnkd.in/gCnBA3z9 Advocacy goes beyond partnerships. Public education has never been properly funded. It benefits industry to increase education funding at local, state, and federal levels. Many school districts have advocacy committees open to families and community members. Austin Independent School District https://lnkd.in/gwMeqUUP. Businesses can support initiatives that aim to reduce educational disparities to ensure that all students have access to high-quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic background, even in the face of obstructive efforts by our national and state governments. #publiceducation #careers #industry #advocacy Advocacy on the part of industry can contribute to the improvement of public education, positively influence our future workforce, and create a well-educated society overall.

For the Spring 2024 semester, CPF POSC 395 Policy Research Internship students explored how eminent domain affected communities in south Los Angeles, especially Black communities within California’s 37th Congressional district. Students examined its impacts on land ownership, generational wealth, and community prosperity. They presented their extensive research and recommendations to our partner, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove. Sofia Connors, a sophomore majoring in Political Science, said, "I was grateful to take part in the POSC 395 Policy Research Internship. I learned about the ways the government has historically used eminent domain to target minority communities in Los Angeles, segregating them and gentrifying their communities. This internship taught me about the foundations Los Angeles was built upon, that many fail to acknowledge. It is rewarding to know we could be making an impact on policy, potentially getting reparations for the countless Black families displaced by eminent domain and had their homes taken." A huge shout out to Sofia Connors, Sydney Crowley, Christian Haro, Juan Herdoiza, and Bright Lee for your outstanding work on this project!

The Shared Leadership Network met to explore the topic of Meaningfully Involving Families and Communities. THIS IS WHAT WE LEARNED: Meaningfully involving students, families, and communities goes beyond asking for their opinions. It means intentionally involving them in the design process, actively encouraging families and community organizations to be on campus and involved in student activities, and valuing families as experts in their larger communities. Here are some examples ⬇️ ➡️ Teams devote time and funds for home visits, encouraging parent participation in some projects and internships, allowing students to gain credit while working to better their communities. ➡️ Teams decide to adopt a year-round schedule or adjust daily start and end times to better meet the needs of the students and community. ➡️ Teams advance a bilingual and bicultural program that is different from the district’s standard language immersion. ➡️ Teams decide to use a community schools model to meet the needs of the whole community, including offering medical and dental services, opening their campuses after school hours for activities and adult education, and providing social services connections.
