Another grantee we would like to spotlight for celebrating diversity this month is The Anti Defamation Leagues Youth Leadership Conference. Anti-Defamation League Youth Leadership Conference: Exploring Diversity. Challenging Hate. As the incidents of bullying, bigotry, and name-calling in schools have drastically increased in recent years, ADL recognizes that getting students involved in being part of the solution can create positive change in school environments. This annual conference brings together more than 500 students from 65 schools throughout Eastern PA, NJ and Delaware to participate in hands on workshops and engage in dialogue about difference, the challenges and opportunities diversity brings, and how they can make their schools and communities more inclusive places for all. They return to their schools with practical skills to become leaders and agents of change. The ADL is the leading provider of anti-bias education and diversity training programs that help create and sustain inclusive school, community and work environments. The Foundation is committed to investing in young people today to create more harmonious schools and communities tomorrow. #DiversityMatters #InclusionForAll #CelebrateDiversity #UnityInDiversity #EmbraceDifferences #EqualityNow #DiverseWorld

Gatekeeping is defined as the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something. Annot Inc. is doing the opposite and is a gate-breaker focused on many things including helping students navigate complicated admissions processes, hidden curriculums and more. Give them a follow as they aim to level the playing field. Shoutout to Chiedza Juru, Marshall Bizure, MBA, MPA, Ms Accounting, CIMA and Kenneth Asher for leading these efforts! 🙌🏾 Having been helped by many to get to where I am, it is my privilege to help others. Also in my description is a shoutout to my fellow footie fans that have had to transition from midfield to defense with age😅 #education #admissions #gatekeeping #gatebreaking
