Next week marks six months for me as 826NYC's Executive Director, and one of the recurring cautions development folks shared with me when I started was about the "summer slump." If you're not familiar with non-profit fundraising, it tends to run in seasons. Winter is end-of-year giving season. Spring and fall are events seasons. And summer—at least for fundraising—is the dreaded season. But it doesn't have to be. As an educator, I know just how important summer is for our students and our work. While fundraising may fall quiet, our programs do not pause. They do not slump. In fact, they soar. This summer, 826NYC's elementary school camp provides crucial opportunities for young people to learn, create, build social emotional skills, get outside, play, and make connections with one another. 826NYC also runs a robust internship opportunity for high school students to mentor younger students, create unique writing projects, engage in daily professional development, and build their resumes.

Timely report from Su Jin Jez and the talented folks at California Competes. Addressing gaps in work-based learning opportunities needs to be a key component of California's new Master Plan for #careereducation. Key findings: - Women were less likely than men to complete paid internships (4% vs. 9%). - White (9%) and Asian (10%) Californians completed paid internships at higher rates than their Black (5%), Latinx (4%), and Native American peers (0%). - First-generation college students were three times less likely to complete paid internships compared to continuing-generation students (4% vs. 17%). As CalCompetes observed, "These disparities can affect students’ careers prospects, and in turn, create ripple effects on their communities, the workforce, and the economy." Proud of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Foundation's role in the Bay Area K-16 Collaborative - and the several Silicon Valley Leadership Group member companies that have stepped up to change these dynamics.

In the SUNY Washington Internship Program, we love seeing our students get the opportunity to publish. Check out this new piece, hot off the press, from Makayla Seidle-Beach, a student at SUNY Brockport interning this summer with the Eurasia Center. Her article is entitled "The Israel-Hamas War and its Effects on Jordanian-Israeli Relations." https://lnkd.in/ehpdyJaT (Link works, I just shortened the URL) Great work, Makayla!

Similar mindset to turning over rocks to find the best opportunities in the market.
