Our Place-Based Education Leaders Design Fellowship is featured in @K12DiveNews! The Fellowship, a partnership w/ @chiefsforchange & @EdRedesignLab, launched w/ Summit for Education Leaders @hczorg, focused on strengthening cradle-to-career services. hcz.social/3VJeIPh
We are thankful to our partners @chiefsforchange and @EdRedesignLab for their thought leadership and invaluable contributions to the launch of @WJWInstitute Place-Based Education Design Fellowship. #powerofplace
.@hczorg @WJWInstitute Inaugural Place-Based Education Design Fellowship, which includes 20 school district leaders who represent over 1.3 million students across the country, welcomed District leaders to Harlem last week! #PowerOfPlace
We’re excited to share an op-ed written by HCZ & @WJWInstitute Founder and President #GeoffreyCanada for @baltimoresun focused on the ENOUGH Act, legislation proposed by @iamwesmoore that advances a state-led response to the profound challenge of poverty. bit.ly/3Pnk1jr
#GeoffreyCanada hosted a session, “The Power of Place: Transforming America One Block at a Time,” at this year’s #SXSWEDU in Austin, Texas! Mr. Canada shared the importance of place-based, cradle-to-career strategies in impacting young people all over the nation. #PowerOfPlace
Yesterday at the world premiere of 'Harlem Rising' at @SXSWEDU, our CEO @MrKwameOK stressed the important message the documentary sends about the national impact of HCZ’s work. #SXSWEDU #PowerofPlace
Live at #SXSWEDU today at 11:30 AM CT / 12:30 PM ET. #GeoffreyCanada hosts a session, “The #PowerofPlace: Transforming America One Block at a Time” 📹Watch with us: bit.ly/3Vl2sEP
#GeoffreyCanada — HCZ founder and president, and founder of William Julius Wilson Institute (@WJWInstitute) — appeared on 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC (@11thhourmsnbc) to talk about the crisis of chronic absenteeism in schools in the wake of COVID.

Our WJWI team attended @theomegacdc's second annual Hope Lives Here Gala in Ohio! We joined Omega CDC in celebrating the progress of their Hope Zone Promise Neighborhood initiative. It's an honor to support Omega CDC as they work towards their bold vision. #PowerofPlace
To #EndGunViolence we must invest in youth from cradle to career. That’s why it was important we joined Harlem Children’s Zone president Geoffrey Canada at the #PowerofPlace convening with 500+ place-based leaders advocating for communities impacted by gun violence.
And that's a wrap! Thanks to our amazing WJWI @hczorg team who put on a successful #PowerOfPlace, and thanks to all of the leaders for joining us in building this movement. See you next year, see you in the field!
#GeoffreyCanada (2/2): But to get on that team, you have to have game. Those of you who are prepared to join with us: let’s come together, go all over this country, and save these children. #PowerOfPlace
#GeoffreyCanada (1/2): We're building a team. Sometimes, you have a team that stays in one place, and sometimes, you have a travel team – you get your best and take them on the road. That's what we're building. #PowerOfPlace
#GeoffreyCanada: In this room is all the knowledge we need. What I don't know is: are you thinking that you need to change, that what you're doing isn't powerful enough? Go out and meet another leader right here in this room who can help you make that change. #PowerOfPlace
#GeoffreyCanada: What are you doing to engage our young people for real? Next year, I want to hear about what you have done that you have not done before. #PowerOfPlace
#GeoffreyCanada gives the closing keynote at #PowerOfPlace: Are you making sure every single child has opportunities for people to stand up and say how special and beautiful and talented they are? That doesn't show up on evaluation sheets. But that's how we save our kids.
.@terriludwig of @BallmerGroup, @kenlevit of @GeorgeKaiserFF, @DukeEndowment’s Rhett Mabry, and @RwbookerRussell of @learnwsam come together for the final panel of #PowerOfPlace, "Balancing Heart and Science: Perspectives from Philanthropy."
.@OaklandSchools’ Dr. Johnson-Trammell on creating a community to serve students: "It all starts with relationships." @OakThrives_MM is the backbone that helps to connect us with faith-based orgs, community orgs. @MayorShengThao provides support from City Hall. #PowerOfPlace
.@MayorShengThao: We can disagree on other issues. But when we come together as adults, and we're doing this for the kids, I dare you to say no. We put the voices of young people first in everything we do. #PowerOfPlace
