The Future of Work is Diverse, Inclusive, Just and Equitable

GlobalMindED closes the equity gap by creating a capable, diverse talent pipeline through connections to role models, mentors, internships for low-income students, returning adults, First Gen to college and inclusive leaders who teach them, work with them and hire them.
GlobalMindED Goals for 2023

We are looking forward to 2023 and have some ambitious goals for this year which we will achieve with your involvement and support:

1) Expand our college programs for 2023 to 25 HBCUs, MSIs, Tribal Colleges, and state colleges with high Pell-Eligible enrolling freshmen.

2) Grow the number of colleges participating at the annual GlobalMindED conference to 500, with 300 of them in person and 200+ viewing the livestream event.

3) Work with FSUN and the UN financial partners who are re-engineering the way money can be deployed more equitably to move the major levers of access and equity starting March 22, 2023 at our GlobalMindED/FSUN event at the United Nations.

4) Lead strong Youth Program sessions featuring our students, graduates, and young professionals at the Mayors City Summit of the Americas in partnership with the Biennial of the Americas April 26-28, 2023 in Denver with thousands of leaders from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America.

5) Secure major funding to scale our programs to all of the state colleges, HBCU’s, HSI’s, Tribal Colleges and community colleges. And, yes, since Mackenzie Scott opened up her funding process, GlobalMindED will be applying for those funds among others who are also mission aligned with our work and goals.

The world needs the talents, contributions and ingenuity of the First Gen, minoritized and poverty-affected students we serve, those who work with them and those who want to hire them. We look forward to working with our inclusive community of leaders to accomplish these ambitious goals in 2023 because the world can’t wait for these remarkable leaders to launch, and neither can they!

Cheers and let’s get to work!!
