¿Por qué debería importarnos?
La capacidad de SCS para brindar una educación equitativa y de calidad se ve socavada por la alta rotación de docentes y las vacantes docentes de un año, así como por las importantes deficiencias de mantenimiento dentro de las escuelas, todo lo cual conduce a mayores costos financieros, educativos y de salud. La falta de acceso a servicios integrales proporcionados por trabajadores sociales, psicólogos y enfermeras calificados inhibe el tratamiento exitoso del trauma o las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia (ACE). El abuso, la negligencia y el trauma aumentan significativamente la probabilidad de suspensiones, comportamiento delictivo juvenil y encarcelamiento. Con una mediana de edad cuatro años por debajo del promedio nacional, la población de Memphis puede apoyar el desarrollo económico, pero solo si brindamos a los niños de nuestra comunidad acceso a oportunidades y apoyo.

Effective leadership is imperative if transformation is to take place in your organization, community, or congregation. The emphasis throughout this training will be on engagement with the participants along with some learning by doing, including hands-on skill practice sessions and feedback from peers and trainers.
This immersive program will give students the opportunity to look at social issues in their own communities through the lens of organizing and build the skills to make an impact on those issues–both in the future as adults and today as young people. Throughout the week, you will delve deeper into the topics of power, self-interest, one-on-ones, public vs private, power analysis, issues and actions, effective meetings, teams and propositions. The week will also include a field trip to Civic Center Plaza, to tour Memphis City Hall and the Vasco A. Smith Jr. County Administration Building.
