Board Highlight- Durgesh Das

I truly believe that quality education can help fight inequality and empower individuals and communities to achieve their true potential. I volunteered at a Family Learning Workshop organized by Inspiredu a few years back, and it was very clear to me that the program could help students overcome barriers to learning and succeed in their academic and career goals.

Lillian Hicks Family of The Year

Our Family of the Year truly made an impact at our Inspire Gala this year. We renamed the award in honor of the Hicks family and awarded the Lillian Hicks Family of the Year Award to the Owens family. Christine Owens, a proud grandmother raising two grandchildren—Angel, age 6, and Kayden, age 7—in a single-family home, says, “It has been challenging.”

Continuing to Connect

Along with making sure we review their feedback, we also follow up with phone calls to make sure we have met the learners' needs. In addition, we hold Microsoft Excel workshops to help them advance to the next level in their career or educational journey. We continue to invite our participants to other community workshops and to visit us during business hours for tech support. Our Capital Campaign has a goal to build out our Volunteer and Training Center, which will allow us to continue to meet the tech support and training needs of those we serve. We hope our continued contact will encourage our learners to grow in their areas of interest.
