Our third and final Urban Star this month is Ian R. Ian is a gentle and kind presence among our 765 students! Each year, we need to raise approximately $3,500 per student to offset the gap not covered by the state scholarships, our endowment, and modest family contributions.

Thank you for including Urban Community School in your journey.
A little over a year ago, I reached a turning point in my engineering career. While my work provided financial freedom and satisfied my passion for solving technical challenges, I felt persistent misalignment with my values and calling. Although I was making a positive impact, many of my skills and passions felt sidelined. I was only tapping into a small part of what I could offer, limited by the boundaries of my role and company’s needs. A mentor once told me, “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.” I reached that threshold and knew it was time for something different. After a reflective search, I transitioned to a career where my values are embraced and serve as an asset. I now use my technical background to create transformative change that uplifts the community I grew up in. This journey hasn’t been without its growing pains, but I’m grateful I made the leap. This alignment has provided me with a much-needed sense of self. This clarity has inspired me to accomplish lifelong milestones like completing an Olympic triathlon, buying a house, and being the “cool aunt.” To anyone contemplating a change, know that fulfillment is possible without sacrificing stability. Change is not easy and everyone's path is unique; however, if you feel something is missing in your work, opportunities for change are out there. To my technical and mission-driven friends, I encourage you to explore opportunities with local Manufacturing Extension Partnership and technical non-profits. If you’re in Ohio, reach out to me; I would love to connect you to this purpose-driven space. Your skills and passions matter. When incorporated into your career path, you can make a significant impact. The journey to alignment may be challenging, but it can be one of the most rewarding paths you can take.

We're proud of our mentors.
Still thinking about the wonderful experience at Heritage Ohio's annual conference in Newark last week. Not only am I extremely grateful for winning Young Ohio Preservationist of the Year, but catching up with the preservation community is always a refreshing experience. Plus, what a treat that they consider under 40 "young!"
Tree Planting Day! Some of our 8th grade students had the opportunity to plant 825 trees within 270 square yards of greenspace, establishing the first mini forest in a zoo in the US! We are so grateful for the experience and partnership with Rooted in Trees and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! #UCSpride
