Our Panthers love giving back to the Atlanta community! GSU Cares was a big success. Alumni, students, and friends of Georgia State gathered together to volunteer at various sites across the city. They helped landscape, packed food, and organized medical supplies all in one weekend. That's #TheStateWay! #GSUCares Georgia State Alumni Association

[New Webinar] Rural Afterschool Programs: Meeting the Challenge In rural communities, afterschool and summer programs are nothing short of treasures. These programs go beyond mere convenience; they're invaluable resources that adapt their offerings to fit the unique needs of local children and families. However, the path these programs tread isn't without hurdles. This webinar will focus on the significance of afterschool and summer programs in rural communities, identify challenges faced by rural afterschool programs, explore strategies for tailoring afterschool programs to rural contexts, discuss the role of advocacy in supporting these programs and increase awareness of resources for the mobilization of rural afterschool programs.

Community advisory councils are often required (by funders or government regulators), or added on when projects don't achieve expected outcomes. Having a highly effective community engagement model is rare and difficult to accomplish. Here's one example of several stakeholders coming together to make it happen.
I'm excited to share the impactful work of The MetroHealth System School Health Program's Youth Advisory Committees (YAC) with students from Cleveland Heights High School, Garrett Morgan High School, and Lincoln-West High School of Global Studies. This past school year, these students have come together to address food insecurity within their communities through innovative projects. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with the YAC at Cleveland Heights High School. Since the beginning of the YAC last fall, our students have shown their dedication and passion. They hosted a fresh produce school market in partnership with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, distributing 4,000 pounds of food to 282 people from 71 households in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights community on May 24th. I'm so proud of our students for their hard work in bridging the gap in food access within their community. We will be hosting our school market once a month until September, thanks to our students being willing to to share their time in the summer giving back to their community. I also want to recognize Garrett Morgan High School students for organizing an amazing resource fair for their community. Lincoln-West High School students for their collaboration with a local garden, where we planted 7 apple trees. Let's continue to support our youth as they lead the way in creating positive change in our communities.
