Throughout those 4 years we began building a community of transformation. This was phase 1. And born out of phase 1 were the 3 pillars that will hold our community of transformation up. We hosted our first event, “Qubit: At the Intersection of Queerness, STEAM and Mental Health” where we put our 3 pillars into action. ? Foster education on STEAM, Mental Health, building generational wealth and leaving a legacy. ? Celebrate ourselves and give ourselves our flowers. We are more than our trauma and hardships. Trust, there will be celebration and unrelenting joy. ? Amplify. We are better together. There is plenty of room in our community of transformation. We will grow our own ecosystem full of beautiful Black and Brown people working to care for our communities be it through education, internships, trainings or mental health resources. During Qubit, we saw firsthand just how much power we could harness when we put our 3 pillars into action. #buildingacommunity #leavingalegacy #STEAM https://loom.ly/68q_DNE

John Purnell Baltimore, MD He/Him Post 3/3 Public service, to me, is about giving back. It wasn't always that way. If I'm being honest, I initially joined for the stability and benefits. It's one of those opportunities that presented itself, and I took it without really knowing what to expect. But as I learned my craft as an economist and started participating in internship opportunities, working as an FRA diversity recruitment ambassador and connecting with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) (I'm an alum of Tougaloo College.), I found my lane. I felt inspired to work with mentees, new hires, and interns. I felt empowered to go back to my rural area of Mississippi and let people know there are thousands of career opportunities that we are not exposed to. That's what I like most about my job - the opportunities it's given me to give back in my own way. I'm a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, which is huge on community service. I'm still active in the Rho Tau Lambda chapter, seated in Baltimore. I have a personal mentee on our team who I've worked with for two years now. She calls me “big brother” all the time. If we go more than three or four days without talking, one of us is calling the other going, “Hey, what's our beef?” Then there are the interns I've worked with in the past who I still keep up with. One just called me the other day, and we chatted for an hour. What really gets to me though, is when it comes to these internship opportunities, I often see them recruiting from the same places. What about the schools that don't even know these programs exist? What about the students who never get the chance to apply because they don't know about the opportunity? That's where I'm trying to make a difference. I'm trying to leverage my connections, my knowledge of different schools, to get this information out there. Because if there's someone who's a graduate of Harvard, I don't expect them to know about an HBCU in Mississippi, Alabama or Texas. But I do. So that's what I'm putting on myself now. How can I better place myself in this network to get the resources and information to these schools? So that they at least know these opportunities are available, so they can at least apply, at least have the opportunity. To just know that the opportunity exists - that can make all the difference. Come October or November, that's when you're going to have to start throwing out the applications for next summer. How can we make sure more diverse candidates know about these opportunities by then? It's a work in progress, but it's work that matters to me. Because I remember what it was like to be that kid from a small town, not knowing what opportunities were out there. If I can help even one person see that there's more to the world, more to life than just the couple of things they see around them, then I'll feel like I've made a difference. And isn't that what public service is all about?

Thank you to all of the employers and government organizations hosting summer interns, program participants, and mentees. We know that you are serving as a mentor, role model, nurturer, parental figure in some cases, career counselor, and most importantly, a listener. As you support our youth and young adults this summer, know that they may reach out to you for support throughout the year. In some instances, you may be their only support within reach. Whether you believe it or not, what you represent and who you are (even when you are still developing) is more of a witness to greatness than you think. Know that you are a model of success, a model of courage, and a model of encouragement to those learning in the summer employment programming spaces. Keep walking with your head high and be unapologetically committed to supporting each of them. They deserve our best and to know when even we have to reset. Allow them to see the real side of work, how culture strengthens relationships, and how leaders grow when they support every part of the organization. Let them see you.
