@hczorg @creehealth Thank you for hosting us!
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
A marvelous learning experience! Thank you, @hczorg for sharing your space with us!
A big thank you to folks @hcz for hosting teams from PRI-Appalachia and PRI-East Texas at the Practitioners Institute. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn and share strategies for supporting students and families. Looking forward to continuing and deepening our partnership!
Strengthening communities, building futures. Great meeting #GeoffreyCanada, President and Founder of the Harlem Children's Zone Project today, Nov. 6, in Harlem, New York. The @USArmyReserve has opportunities for college through the MinuteMan Scholarship! @hczorg
#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.
#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: 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 (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 (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
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!
We were honored to host @MagicJohnson @WJWInstitute's #PowerOfPlace! He inspired us with his commitment to Black economic empowerment and uplifting Black and brown children through life-changing educational opportunities. Thanks, Magic - you're welcome back to the Zone any time!

This is why we do this work ❤️ A big shout out and congrats to the @hczorg Promise Academy scholar-dancers who performed last night at our #PowerOfPlace celebration @FillmoreNola!
We're kicking off Day 3 of #PowerOfPlace with a keynote from @WJWInstitute's Christian Rhodes: People ask me, "What does WJWI do?" We’re supporting communities across the U.S. because there are people who are in the same rooms as money and power, but they are still so far away.
.@MayorShengThao, @omeadows, @OakThrives_MM, and @OaklandSchools’ Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell take the stage for a panel, "The Role of the Public Sector and the K to 12 System in Addressing Determinants of Place-Based Inequity." #PowerOfPlace
.@MayorShengThao: Sometimes, adults get in the way. If you're taking on a leadership position, you have to put the future first — you have to put the babies first. #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
.@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
