As the year comes to a close and we reflect on the impact we've made, we are excited to share the inspiring moments from the 6th You(th) Lead Conference, hosted by our community partner, the Pinball Foundation. Our partnership with PCF aligns with our Labour Market Intervention Strategy (LMIS), aimed at addressing systemic barriers and creating pathways for Black, equity-denied, and justice-involved youth to access educational and career opportunities. At the conference, our post-secondary students and alumni, through speed mentorship sessions, networked with industry leaders and executives from various sectors and industries, gaining valuable career advice and insights. It was empowering to see our current students interact with alumni, whose success stories serve as a powerful testament to the transformative impact of education and the expanded opportunities provided by #YAAACE. Here’s to shaping the brighter futures of our youth! 💫 #YouthEmpowerment #YAAACEAlumni #CommunitySupport #LabourMarket #LabourMarketInterventionStrategy Funmi (Lade) Oyapero | Liz Kamalando | Faith-Ann Allison | Dejon Brissett | Audrey Sanchez | David Piccini | Patrice Barnes | Jill Dunlop | Hon.

One of the fun things I get to do is to bounce around the country visiting leaders of various kinds of nonprofit institutions (under the guise of "checking in with our clients"). This week, one of those institutions was a new and particularly exciting one: Ralston College in Savannah, Georgia, led by Dr. Stephen Blackwood. I met President Blackwood in a building facing lovely Forsyth Park, just one of the beautiful old structures the school is inhabiting, or readying to inhabit, as it prepares for significant growth. It's true that not every organization has--or needs to have--a big vision. But Ralston has a massive vision. And it has a leader in Blackwood who, when he shares that vision, comes off as totally believable. His goal is to "revive and reinvent the traditional university." In contradistinction to most mainstream universities today, where the implicit motto seems to be "to think is to make yourself unsafe," Ralston's motto is "to think is to be free." Sounds like just what we need. While a number of wonderful Christian colleges have been founded along these lines over the past several decades, almost no non-faith-based colleges with Ralston's perspective have come into being of late. Right now, Ralston's lone degree program is a one-year M.A. in the humanities. (You can get a taste of what Ralston offers by checking out its online lectures and podcast.) The M.A. program starts with a crash course in Greek--in Greece. Students return to Savannah to finish out the academic year. When Blackwood and I popped in one of the school's lovely buildings, a group of students were practicing for their performance of A Comedy of Errors later in the week. An undergraduate program is in the offing. With the location in Savannah, and with the influential Jordan Peterson in place as chancellor (I guess I buried the lede), it's hard to see how Ralston won't be a smashing success. #Nonprofit #EducationLeadership #AcademicExcellence

As we begin 2025, I want to encourage everyone to find something you’re passionate about and give it your all. I’m passionate about a few things. Here is one: https://lnkd.in/gCTGs-Wi CC: UCR Black Alumni Chapter

We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with Blackfeet Community College (BFCC), creating pathways for students and employees to pursue fully online degrees while staying connected to their community. For WGU alum Skye Gilham, a proud member of the Blackfeet Tribe, this collaboration is deeply personal. Skye, a BFCC STEM instructor and WGU Distinguished Graduate Award recipient, uses her education to preserve Blackfeet traditions and mentor young leaders. “Education isn’t just about degrees,” Skye shared. “It’s about strengthening our community, preserving our history, and creating opportunities for the next generation.” This partnership reflects WGU’s commitment to expanding access to higher education in tribal communities while honoring their unique heritage. 📚 Read more about this inspiring collaboration here: https://lnkd.in/gvQmwFzC #WGU #HigherEducation #BlackfeetNation #CommunityEmpowerment #TribalColleges
