The Summit on Diversity and Inclusion: Building a Community of Cultural and Racial Competence
May 7th and 8th, 5 p.m.; Virtual Event
The Summit School Symposium Series, in collaboration with America and MOORE, LLC, is pleased to present The Summit on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Building a Community of Cultural and Racial Competence, a two-day, virtual, interactive conference, designed to take a look at race and gender in our current educational system and provide educators with context of the current state of Black boys in education in the United States and to offer new ways of seeing, hearing, and understanding those statistics. Given that the majority of educators are White women, it is important to examine cultural, racial, and economic differences Black males may bring to a classroom and how the classroom environment and teaching strategies can be strategically designed to ensure academic engagement, sense of belonging, and ultimately, academic success.
Youth Entrepreneurship: Supporting Youth with Big Dreams
May 8th, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.; Susan B Campbell Park, Annapolis
This year, in collaboration with the Housing Authority of the City of Annapolis, the Maryland Reentry Resource Center started an Entrepreneurship Club at Eastport Terrace. The club was so successful that MDRRC is starting to teach entrepreneurship skills at several juvenile detention centers. These clubs give kids the access to mentors, resources and ideas that help them explore a variety of career paths, including starting a business of their own. Through their involvement in Entrepreneurship Club, they learn about the boundless opportunities that are before them. Please come out and support our Inaugural Youth Entrepreneurship Fair. The event will provide an opportunity for youth to showcase their products and services to the public. The event will be held on Saturday, May 8 from 11 am to 2 pm at Susan B.
