"Grandparents are the roots of our family tree, anchoring us in tradition and wisdom that guides our journey forward." Glenda Clare National Grandparents Day, celebrated on September 8, 2024 was the perfect time to reflect on the impact elders have on society. Grandparents with their wisdom and experience serve as architects of community resilience. Here’s how their support nurtures our collective well-being: - Grandparents serve as "Custodians of Tradition" preserve and pass down cultural traditions, stories, and values, fostering a sense of identity and continuity that binds communities together. - Grandparents are "Emotional Anchors" often provide stable sources of love and emotional support, which helps families navigate challenges and maintain mental well-being. - "Practical Wisdom" - With years of experience, grandparents offer invaluable advice on problem-solving and life skills, equipping younger generations with tools to face adversity. -Grandparents foster "Intergenerational Bonds" by nurturing relationships across generations. They strengthen family ties and encourage a sense of mutual support within the community. -Many grandparents actively engage in "Community Service, Volunteering and Mentoring" offering their time and talent to support local initiatives. -Often grandparents play the crucial role Of "Health Advocate"promoting healthy habits and lifestyles, influencing family health practices that ripple through the community. -"Crisis Management" - During difficult times, grandparents frequently step up to provide stability and assistance, helping families and communities recover and rebuild. Let’s honor and support the grandparents who shape our communities with their wisdom and love. Reach out, appreciate their contributions, and find ways to engage them in community life. Their legacy of strength is our beacon of hope. #NationalGrandparentsDay #CommunityResilience #GenerationalWisdom #FamilyStrength #CulturalLegacy #BuildingResilience

Children are the heart of every community. Every child deserves access to proper healthcare, nutrition, and clean water. Every child deserves the chance to go to school and unlock their full potential. Every child deserves a safe place to grow. Every child deserves access to early childhood programs and after-school activities, to help develop the skills they need to succeed in life. Too many kids in underserved areas don’t have access to the basics they need to grow, learn, and thrive. We need to change this narrative. When we invest in children, we invest in the future of our communities. They’re the ones who will drive progress and make sure no one gets left behind. Let’s give every child the start they deserve. GEANCO Community Center Initiative is interested in the nurturing of every child. Together, we can build brighter futures. One child, one community at a time!

It's Family Day and we're highlighting things that Connecticut families need to thrive: ???????????????? Affordable Housing: Increased access to affordable housing options, rent assistance programs, and initiatives to prevent homelessness can help families maintain stable living conditions. ???????????????? Quality education: Equitable funding for public schools, access to early childhood education, and programs to support students with special needs can ensure all children receive a high-quality education. ???????????????? Youth Programs and Opportunities: Investment in youth programs, community centers, and summer activities can help young people stay engaged, learn new skills, and build positive futures. ???????????????? Family Support Services: Access to family support services, including parenting classes, respite care for caregivers, and family counseling, can provide critical assistance in managing these challenges. By addressing these needs through community engagement, policy changes, and targeted support programs, Connecticut can help ensure that all families have the resources and opportunities they need to flourish.

?? Supporting Communities in Challenging Times ?? This past week, our Los Angeles community has faced devastation with the Palisades and Eaton fires, leaving many families, children, and educators grappling with unimaginable loss. At ConnectED, our hearts go out to everyone affected. ?? Moments like these remind us of the importance of coming together to support one another—especially the most vulnerable among us. In early education, community resilience starts with: ?? Empowered Leaders: Providing guidance to navigate crises and ensure support systems are in place. ?? Collaboration: Partnering with organizations to address immediate needs and long-term recovery. ?? Equity-Focused Solutions: Ensuring resources reach those who need them most. To support recovery efforts, I’m dedicating the next week to offering free 30-minute strategy sessions to leaders and organizations navigating challenges related to community rebuilding, resource access, or program continuity. Let’s collaborate to ensure children and families can find stability and hope in these difficult times. ?? Message me to schedule a session or share how you’re supporting our community—I’d love to amplify your efforts. Together, we can turn these challenges into opportunities to rebuild stronger. #CommunityResilience #LeadershipSupport #EarlyEducation #EquityDriven #LosAngeles

Are you thinking about launching a community? Don't overthink! As humans, we have community in our blood. We're "social creatures". And yet, we often get lost in irrelevant details when starting a new community. And ignore important pieces. We've built three communities from scratch. And from what we have learned, these are the important pieces. ?? What else should we add here? ?? ___________ Now, if you've turned your community on all sides and things are not quite right yet, it's okay to ask for help. ?? The last "Building Community from within NOcourse" this year has opened registration, and if you are building internal communities within your organization, you might be one of the 10 people to embark on a 12-week-long learning journey: https://lnkd.in/e6fuGw6F Maybe we get to learn together. ?? #buildingcommunityfromwithin #nocourse #communitybuilding #communityofpractice #ERG #community #learningcommunity
