Shout out to our amazing Teen Advisory Board💕
Executive Director at PLAN4SUCCESS FOUNDATION | U of C Civic Actors Studio | Change Collective | American Express Leadership Academy | National Coalition of 100 Black Women | U of C Certification in Nonprofit Management
This summer was a powerful journey of growth, learning, and community impact for our PLAN4SUMMER Series participants. Huge thank you shout out to our teen director Jordan Howard for leading powerful and positive change! From planting a community garden to developing essential skills in project management and public speaking, these young leaders embraced every opportunity to make a difference. Their dedication culminated in a Family Presentation Day, where they showcased their achievements and shared the fruits of their labor—literally! This summer was about more than just projects; it was about building community champions who are ready to lead positive change. https://lnkd.in/gMzfNuG3 PLAN4SUCCESS FOUNDATION Katari Coleman Nicholas Jones Lolitha M.

Had the absolute pleasure of finally sitting down for coffee with the man, the myth, the legend, Corey Hardiman! For years, my "neicy pooh" Dominique Daily has been telling me we had to connect because we both live, breathe, and fight for the betterment of our people and humanity as a whole—and she wasn’t wrong! Not only were we both political science majors, but we also shared a passion for youth programming and empowering the next generation. It was an honor to meet him, and I’m excited about what’s to come as we collaborate on some meaningful projects in the future! Corey A.
