For my conservation connections out there: my colleague and I co-teach an undergraduate capstone course for majors in conservation social science; most of these students are within a few weeks of graduation. We're looking for about 6 people who would take a look at a few students' LinkedIn profiles (3-4 each) and provide a few sentences of your overall impression: is the student's purpose clear (their "why"), does the profile clearly convey the student's skills, and how is the quality of the writing/structure? Feedback can be as simple as 3-5 bullet points. We've provided a first round of comments to their profiles, they're making revisions, and the last step is comments from professionals. Feedback from professionals is invaluable to our students, and can be received differently (better?) when it's coming from professionals in jobs and organizations of interest to them. Update: I'm all set. Thanks to the individuals who volunteered or offer to volunteer!

Moving into college should be exciting, not overwhelming. However, it can be stressful for students, parents, and faculty to navigate the long lines, ID pictures, and distribution of thousands of keys… all of which take place before moving in can even begin. With GeokeyU, the long lines, manpower, and hours spent distributing keys can be done before the day even begins! With our platform, administrators can have unique credentials in the form of geokeys sent to each future students phone, giving them unique access to whatever buildings, rooms, and units they will need access to during their time on campus! Don't let move-in day stress dampen your excitement. Experience the ease of GeokeyU and start your college journey on the right foot!

One key discovery at our Children's Ministry program is how exposure to new environments shapes personal identity, goals, and dreams. Whenever we can, we expose our teenagers to new experiences. Last weekend, we took them to a career expo at University of the Western Cape and Cape Peninsula University of Technology Our holistic approach focuses on Education, Social, and Spiritual development. We believe these three factors are crucial for personal growth. Developing all three increases the chances of success. We see high unemployment rates, even among the educated. We've witnessed those with high social status take their own lives despite their wealth & opulence. We've seen "spiritual" individuals commit crimes and exploit the vulnerable. This is why holistic development matters - this time we focused on academic exposure. #vision #personaldevelopment #youthdevelopment #childrensministry

Sharing this because I know I’m not alone… As a #firstgenerationcollegestudent, I entered university declaring a random major in Civil Engineering without any intention of pursuing it as a career. 🤷🏽 Given that I had no clue what pathway to pursue, I explored for my first two years… 1️⃣ Since many #Filipinos worked in the #healthcare field (physicians, nurses, dentists, lab techs), for two years, I volunteered at a student-run clinic that provided free healthcare services to Filipino WWII Veterans. 💥 While I liked providing direct care and making an impact, I wasn’t passionate enough about studying the biological sciences. 2️⃣ #publicpolicy was another area I believed I could make an impact. For one summer, I interned at a law center addressing systemic poverty at the state level. 💥 While the work was important, I didn’t appreciate how far removed the work was from the communities that they aimed to impact. Looking back, my #DIY #careerexploration had a significant impact on my professional #trajectory. From these two experiences, I learned that I had an affinity for “place-based” and #communitydevelopment work; I wanted to feel a sense of #fulfillment of satisfaction that I was able to make a direct impact. I hope y’all never stop exploring, especially when it comes to your career and passions. AND...if you are an #earlycareer #firstgen professional who is just beginning this journey, I would love to provide a listening ear, feedback, and a sprinkle of strategy into your #careerdevelopment goals. 🌟 Check out my FREE Career Coaching offering in my "featured posts" and DM me for next steps! 🌟

Great article by Dean Peterson!

In considering their children’s education, parents often ask themselves “what kind of person do I want my child to be like when he or she turns 18?” At Ambleside, we recognize that education is something much more than building a resume, gaining job skills, or becoming a “productive member of society,” however desirable these might be. Rather, the gift we give every child is that they might become the man or woman our Father in heaven intends. Read the Ambleside Article: https://lnkd.in/etiRRaZc.

As I sit back and reflect on the past two years and a month, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity to positively impact the lives of school children and contribute to the vibrant community of Chorkor 🌟 It's been a journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and most importantly, the unwavering support of those around me. People often ask me why this path suits me so well, why children connect with me on such a profound level, and what secrets lie behind our connection. The truth is, it all stems from a place of struggle and empathy 💖 Growing up, I faced my fair share of challenges in accessing quality and inclusive education I know firsthand the barriers and obstacles that stand in the way of a child's educational journey. It's this empathy that drives me to make a difference, to ensure that every child, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to the education they deserve. 📚 My journey in Chorkor has been more than just a job; it's been a calling. Every interaction, and every moment spent with these children, has reaffirmed my passion and purpose. ❇️ Through collaborative efforts and networking with people from diverse backgrounds, we've been able to create a supportive environment where children thrive and dreams are nurtured. So, what made me pursue this career journey? It's the belief that education is not just a privilege but a fundamental right. ⚖️ every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and succeed. And it's the unwavering determination to be a catalyst for change in the lives of those who need it most. As I continue on this journey, I'm inspired by the resilience and potential of the children. Together, we're building a brighter future, one classroom at a time. So, I invite you to join me in asking yourself: What drives you to pursue your current career journey? What impact do you hope to make in the lives of others? And how can we work together to create a better tomorrow for all? ✨ #EducationForAll #DreamsNurtured #CommunityImpact #EmpowerChildren #BuildingBrighterfuture
