Ten years ago this month, I was wrapping up my senior year of college: turning in my thesis, saying goodbye to good friends… and realizing that I probably should have started applying for jobs back in January.

I got lucky.  Through a connection made the previous summer, a dream job fell into my lap.  2012’s newly minted college graduates might not be so lucky – a recently released study says that half of recent college graduates are either unemployed or underemployed. It’s tough, reading statistics like that, to wax poetic about the importance of a college education – and yet, that’s exactly what I’m about to do.

After celebrating Volunteer Appreciation Week last year, I’d like to highlight yet another one of our amazing and dedicated volunteers. Lori Blatstein volunteers as a classroom volunteer twice a week in one of our Head Start classrooms. The value that Lori brings to the classroom was recently expressed by Rita, the teacher in the classroom where Lori volunteers: “We are very grateful to have Lori in our classroom.  She is a wonderful person, who is very caring and nurturing and as a mom, everything is instinctive for her.” Lori’s own words offer additional insight into how meaningful volunteering can be:

Did you know that over 47,000 children in New York City could lose access to child care and after-school programs next year?  Mayor Bloomberg’s proposed budget includes major cuts to these services — including a 62% reduction in Out of School Time (OST) after-school programs in Manhattan.  As a provider of these crucial programs, we support the Campaign for Children to help raise awareness of these devastating cuts.

Want to help? Take 5 minutes and send a note to Mayor Bloomberg through this simple online form. Thanks for your support!

The World is Flat: A Philanthropic Perspective

By David Cutting

In the spring of 2005, famed economic journalist Thomas Friedman brought us a brilliant piece of literature entitled The World is Flat. This national bestseller provided a perspective of the changing world of global business and politics through the lens of economic policy; specifically the flattening of the world due to globalization. I believe, this term indicates a process through which barriers are broken down and information flows at almost unprecedented speed. With the increased sharing of information, we’ve created a global community; one in which every participant (nation, corporation, political leader, etc) is connected and affects one another despite differing agendas.
