Built to Serve, Episode 26 - Helping Our Children Overcome Life's Obstacles

  • サマリー

  • With the reappearance of school buses on our streets, and the wispy hints of autumn air, we are surely in “back to school” mode. Our schools are facing great challenges: high absentee rates, the increase in violence, and flux in other social determinants of health. Instead of focusing on one local non-profit, this edition of Built to Serve brings us the story of broadcasting legend Dr. Rick (Roosevelt) Wright, who lives a purpose-driven life. He tells how he overcame racial discrimination to reveal the keys to a successful life: self-determination, spirituality, and value of community and family members, teachers, and countless mentors, who each spoke into his life for good. Host Major Charles Roberts reminds us that there are many community-based organizations who are working tirelessly to come alongside of our children so they can similarly rise to greatness. But these organizations cannot go it alone. They need you. Research shows that the single greatest change factor for a young person is the consistent presence of one caring adult. Your gifts of time and talent can change the trajectory of a young person for good. Consider the following Central New York organizations: Blueprint 15 OGs Against Violence CNY Book Buddies The Reading League FOCUS Greater Syracuse PEACE Head Start Southwest Community Center Mary Nelson Youth Center Northside Learning Center Cab Horse Day Care Center (The Salvation Army)
