Change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the small victories that keep us going. These moments inspire and fuel us to continue. Each step forward, no matter how small, matters. But don’t forget to pause and celebrate... 1. Successful community initiatives. 2. Policy changes at local or national levels. 3. Increased representation in leadership roles. 4. Recognizing these moments keeps us motivated. So, what’s your recent achievement in advocacy or community? Alisha Ally, Global Development Visionary.

Engaging the Next Generation in Community Leadership Hey LinkedIn Community! Let’s talk about something close to the heart: engaging the next generation to take leadership roles within their ethnic communities. Our grandparents often grew up in environments where questioning authority wasn't the norm. This nurtured a deep bond to their community, something our parents grew up immersed in. It was part of their lives and beliefs. Fast forward to today, and the younger generation, now in their 20s to 40s, grew up in more open households. They were encouraged to ask questions, doubt, and research. They might not agree with the previous generations and may have a different view of their community. Some might not want to be identified solely by their heritage. To keep our communities heritage alive and respected, we need to engage this younger generation. We need to understand their needs and vision and create a safe and inclusive space for discussion. We must accept that they are not us, just like we are not our parents. Times change, environments change, and we need to adapt so we don't lose them or create animosity toward their heritage. Let's embrace change with a smile and a willingness to listen. After all, the only constant in life is change! Are we ready to truly listen to the next generation and adapt, or are we stuck in our ways? #NextGenLeadership #CommunityHeritage #EmbraceChange #InclusiveDiscussion #CulturalEvolution Stay engaged and keep learning!

2025 is here, and I am more driven than ever to leave a lasting impact. Last year, I worked with Satara Initiative on a school outreach program, where 30+ students benefitted from resources and guidance that helped shape their leadership and academic journey. This experience reaffirmed my belief that small, consistent actions lead to big transformations. It inspires me to take even bolder steps in 2025. This year, I am focused on: ?? Empowering youth with skills to lead confidently and embrace opportunities. ?? Driving community projects that create sustainable change and foster collaboration. ?? Building impactful partnerships with like-minded individuals and organizations to amplify results. ?? Publishing articles to inspire, educate, and spark meaningful conversations. ?? Engaging in continuous learning through fellowships and programs that support growth and innovation. Every step I take this year aligns with my passion for leadership, youth empowerment, and community development. I believe that small actions, done consistently, create ripples of impact. It’s not just about setting goals ,it’s about turning them into tangible results. As we journey through 2025, let’s commit to creating a world where every action contributes to progress and every voice has a platform. What’s YOUR big goal for 2025?

Unlocking Potential: The Challenge of Finding Mentees for Auntie's Love At Auntie's Love, we believe every young girl deserves guidance, support, and an opportunity to reach her full potential. Our dedicated mentors are ready and waiting to share their wisdom, skills, and love with the next generation of leaders. However, I'm facing a daunting challenge—securing enough mentees to benefit from our transformative programs. A Founder’s Vision and Struggle I have poured my heart and soul into creating a safe, nurturing environment where adolescent girls can thrive. Despite this unwavering dedication, the road to connecting with those who need us most has been anything but smooth. Countless young girls could benefit immensely from a positive role model, but reaching them has proven to be a significant hurdle. Why is this happening? It’s a complex issue. Many families are unaware of the available resources, or they may hesitate to engage due to past experiences or mistrust. Others might be overwhelmed with daily struggles, making it difficult to even think about seeking out mentorship opportunities. Our Talented Mentors: The Heart of Auntie’s Love Our mentors are the heartbeat of Auntie’s Love. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Each mentor is driven by a deep commitment to making a difference in the lives of young girls. They are ready to provide guidance, support, and encouragement, helping mentees build self-esteem, develop leadership skills, and navigate life’s challenges. These amazing women are more than just mentors; they are role models, advocates, and friends. They understand the power of mentorship because many of them have benefited from similar programs in their own lives. They are eager to give back, to inspire, and to empower the next generation of strong, confident women. How You Can Help We need your help to bridge the gap between our mentors and the young girls who need them. Here are a few ways you can make a difference: Spread the Word:?Share our mission with your network. Let families know that Auntie’s Love is here to support their daughters. Community Involvement:?Partner with local schools, community centers, and organizations to raise awareness about our programs. Support Our Initiatives:?Whether through donations or volunteering, your support helps us reach more girls and provide them with the resources they need to succeed. Together, we can break down barriers and ensure that every young girl has the opportunity to flourish. Let’s make sure that no girl misses out on the chance to have an Auntie?by her side. Join us in this mission and be a part of something truly transformative. Visit our website at?www.auntieslove.org?to learn more and get involved today.

We've seen time and again the incredible ripple effects that happen when young people are empowered to lead. From local service projects to global advocacy campaigns, youth are at the forefront of driving positive change in their communities.

It takes a village of supportive adults, organizations, and institutions to nurture the next generation of changemakers. When we invest in youth leadership through mentorship, skill-building, and meaningful opportunities to serve, everyone benefits. How will you uplift the youth leaders in your life today?

In the spring of 2021 we held pilot meetings in the Northeastern region of Minnesota. Soon after, in the summer of 2021 through the spring of 2022, we traveled (virtually) across rural Minnesota region by region. Then, in early fall we held meetings in the metro counties and areas. These convenings created connections with women, strategies to better support each other, explored existing formal and informal networks, and identified barriers and opportunities to overcome. Two topics that were especially discussed were woman leadership and the importance of mentorship. Additionally, in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we discussed the challenges of COVID and what positives we can take forward. Our goal was to ignite action in community, leadership, civic engagement, and rural entrepreneurship, while simultaneously identifying opportunities and connecting women with each other.
