What could be more brat than starting a non-profit because you lost an election? In the words of Charlie XCX, “You’re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes. Who feels herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like, parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it’s brat. You’re brat. That’s brat.” Iykyk. Starting a non-profit as high school students is one of the most brat things we’ve done. Emerging in this field can be messy, and there are many obstacles that we face each and every day. There are fees. Forms. Legalities. It’s the exact opposite of clean. But we party through it. We party through it because our mission, centered on creating pathways for intersectional growth in sustainability, equity, and education, is one that can change the lives of the future generation. What could be more brat than that? We need the help of driven youth leaders to make our vision possible. So if you want to transform your brat summer into a brat autumn, apply to 4SEE Student Leaders Internship today. 🍏Eligibility: Current high schoolers and undergraduate students 🍏Time Commitment: 2-3 hrs/wk 🍏 Deadline: August 25 at 11:59 PM ET 🌱 Apply now: tinyurl.com/4seeinternship

🌍 Imagine arriving in a new country, filled with hope but feeling completely alone. This was Maria’s reality. She fled hardship in Venezuela to rebuild her life in Northern Colorado, only to find herself facing new barriers—language difficulties, financial limitations, and isolation. This is the experience of so many new arrivals, aspiring to contribute to and thrive in their new communities. Like others, Maria struggled to connect and felt her dreams slipping away into mere survival. Then she joined Arboretum Coffee’s apprenticeship program—a lifeline made possible by our incredible supporters. In a warm, welcoming environment, Maria found more than just job skills; she gained mentors who helped her find housing, offered guidance on life skills, and, most importantly, provided a community that believed in her potential. Today, Maria isn’t just a barista—she’s a leader and a voice of hope. Arboretum Coffee empowered her to step beyond her role, discover leadership within herself, and inspire those around her. For the first time, her dreams of building a future felt within reach. And Maria isn’t alone. 💚 85% of our apprentices have formed meaningful connections in their new community, and 100% are going on to higher-paying jobs or further education. These stories are a testament to what’s possible when we come together to support and empower newcomers in a meaningful, holistic way. If you’re inspired by Maria’s journey, there are many ways to get involved and help create more stories like hers. Together, we can continue building a community where everyone has the chance to thrive. 🌱 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gsdBbDS9 #ArboretumCoffee #RefugeeEmpowerment #CommunityImpact #LeadershipDevelopment #SocialImpact #EconomicMobility #LinkedInCommunity #Volunteer #Donate

Results for America, a non-profit organization that helps government leaders use evidence and data to find solutions to many of society’s ills – recently issued an updated case study about the progress a program in the City of Charlotte has made to improve upward mobility for its children. A decade ago in a study about intergenerational mobility of America’s 50 biggest cities, Charlotte came in dead last, but it's made leagues of progress since. They key has been the Year Up program which, according to the case study, “operates tuition-free and provides its mostly low-income participants with six months of sector-specific technical coursework followed by a six-month internship, with the goal of transitioning them into full-time roles.” This Management Update by Barrett and Greene Inc. delves into the key components of the program, which can be useful in many other cities.
