"Building an education fund is building a legacy of knowledge." As parents, we all wish to leave behind a meaningful legacy for our children. One of the most impactful ways to do this is by investing in their education. An education fund not only supports your child's academic journey but also ensures that your legacy of knowledge and wisdom lives on for generations to come.

Each of us upholds or dismantles power systems every day, like when we choose where to put our hard-earned money on #givingtuesday. In a healthy democratic system, system-level power emerges from community empowerment. On the other hand, systemic disinvestment damages the connection between community and governance, and threatens the individual's ability to survive and thrive. You know the importance of teaching youth to recognize systemic power. The crucial next step is to invite youth to respectfully interrogate and collaborate with the system that will soon be theirs. I can think of no better organization that increases our capacity for community engagement than The Global Academy for Community-Based Education. #GACBE supports students in addressing systemic challenges in their own community, teaching how to ask questions of shareholders outside the classroom, and looking for feasible community-driven solutions. It's the ultimate inquiry-driven project-based holistic learning model. This mode of discourse has the power to transform by creating new perspectives for decision-makers, building connections across sectors, and empowering the youth to envision a role in their community's future. I have the honor of serving on the board of this brand new 501c3. It has established impact and tremendous potential.
