This unique program will encourage underserved young people to find their voices through self and community power. We empower our young people to use creativity, education, and leadership to nurture a growth mindset and encourage self-efficacy.
We recognize the need to look inside our own organization to ensure that we intentionally promote racial equity, along with all forms of racism, discrimination, and oppression.
We know that we have been complicit in upholding the status quo. We cannot continue to pursue our work in a race-neutral way. Therefore, we are interrupting our past behavior and taking intentional and significant steps to transform TeachThemYoungER to live our values. As we work toward creating a more equitable country where our communities can thrive regardless of their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, or ability. TeachThemYoungER must live the values for which we advocate.
We are motivated to bring awareness to legal and moral methods of creating a movement of “NEXT LEVEL” change to our communities:
- Policy solutions must address the roots of structural and systemic racism.
- Lived experience and diverse perspectives are needed to shape our work.
- We have an obligation to center, listen to, and learn from people of color.
Facing Adversity and Inequity Righteously
Workshops, events, and awareness groups where our community young people and community leaders facilitate projects on the aspects of race, bias, and inequity.
FEATURED BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP
Carl's Van Rentals is family-owned and operated and has been providing the State of Florida with large capacity vans since 1994. Starting as a used car lot just south of downtown Orlando, Florida Carl’s Van Rentals had only a few vans but slowly built a local reputation for having the best prices and service in Orlando! Carl (yes there is really a Carl) came up with the idea of opening a van-specific rental company when his son’s Little League baseball team qualified to play in a State Championship game. The game wasn’t in Orlando and the entire team needed to go on the trip. After looking all over the Orlando metro area, Carl was unable to find any vehicles that could accommodate over seven people. Since Carl was operating a used car dealership, he began to stock vans on his lot and in June 1993 started offering the vans for rent. Though there were only three Ford Aerostar vans, it was the start of what is now Carl’s Van Rentals. Since then, we have expanded throughout Florida serving most large metropolitan areas and a majority of Florida’s largest international airports. With locations in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale, they make renting convenient for all. Call (800) 565-5211, get your instant quote now or make a reservation online.
Thank you Carl's Van Rentals for helping our kids get to their NEXT LEVEL.
