United Way Miami and Achieve Miami are joining forces to provide high-quality training to 150 individuals and pave the way for them to become future educators in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Under the leadership of Symeria Hudson, president and CEO of United Way Miami, and Leslie Miller Saiontz, founder and president of Achieve Miami, this partnership with the Teacher Accelerator Program (TAP) is a significant step in UpSkill Miami's mission to train nearly 800 individuals in high-demand fields such as healthcare, transportation, construction trades, energy, aviation and now education. Amid a severe teacher shortage, with nearly 5,000 vacancies across Florida—including hundreds in Miami-Dade— this collaboration directly addresses one of our community's most urgent needs.

Meet Daniel: an aspiring future rockstar! Daniel always dreamed of playing music, but limited arts resources in his community made it hard for him to pursue. Everything changed when he found Achieve Music, where his love for music flourished and his skills reached new heights. Over the past four years, he’s mastered the xylophone and piano, becoming a confident performer. But Achieve Music is more than just learning instruments—it’s about finding a community, mentors, and the confidence to dream big. Students like Daniel are counting on your support to succeed, and now’s the time to make your mark. Early Giving for Give Miami Day is officially open! Every donation made between now and Thursday, November 21st, is eligible for matching funds and prizes. Make a difference today—your contribution will help students like Daniel achieve their dreams! ? https://lnkd.in/gnWwJwUw
