"From cradle to college to community building"
Not to get ahead of the ball, however, I came across a very unique organization based out of Harlem who's slogan is "From cradle to college to community building."
The slogan really caught my eye and made me think. In addition, it's similarity to something we might create to capture our young to old learning concept was apparent.
It is a much broader and deeper organization that I think we have ever imagined and in many ways applies more to inner-city populations but it truly offers some grounding on the limitless opportunities to this kind of community work. I think it also reminds us that student achievement is linked to many many factors we so often forget or don't spend enough time addressing.
Please take a look at their website when you have some time. http://www.hcz.org/home
They even offer different workshops for communities around the country to attend to gain a personal touch and feel for they work they do. Something really worth exploring some day.
Hope everyone is ready for the holiday and I will see you on Wednesday!
