2/5/2014

1 Comment

 
What are “all the things we need to know, and do”, to assure that youth born or living in high poverty areas of Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, New York City, etc. are starting jobs and careers out of poverty by their mid 20’s?

Q: Do you have a group of people in your community 
asking this question?

1.) Map The Pathways

Visualize the Possibilities.
Are there people in your community creating graphics like this (right) to illustrate the goal of helping kids move from first grade through high school, post High School and then into jobs?  

2.) Build Momentum By Sharing Information

Leverage Collaborative Technologies.
Is there is a group focusing on map making, do they have a web site where they are posting what they are reading and learning in an effort to share this information with others who they want involved in the same conversation?

I wrote an article in July 2016 focusing on poverty in the Cleveland area. I updated it today with a link to another article. See both at http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2016/07/rnc-draws-attention-to-poverty-and.html

Use this and other resources to build strategies that offset these negative impacts.
