COMMUNITY LAUNCH - TENNESSEE CHARTER SCHOOL CENTER

The Community Launch Fellowship, with generous support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, seeks to to address the intersection between community engagement and school design. The Fellowship is a 6-month long cohort, consisting of 20 Fellows that include 4 students, 8 parents, 8 community members from communities across Memphis. The Fellowship’s aim is to build self-efficacy and empower our fellows through monthly modules.

The objective of our Community Launch Fellowship is to provide an opportunity for families and trusted community members to:

1.     Enhance civic engagement and participation
2.    Build investment in democratic processes and engage in a process of inquiry, investigation and decision-making while collaborating with peers and neighbors of diverse mindsets and values
3.    Establish the framework for a school entity that would be responsible for supporting the transmission of core values and ethics to their children
4.    Increase ownership and decision-making power over education reform and transformation initiatives being implemented in their communities
5.    Gain a deeper, more authentic understanding about school quality, accountability, and overall increase in comfort in navigating school bureaucracies
6.    Improve likelihood that specific reform initiatives will truly address the needs of the primary stakeholders, as they are substantially involved at the onset of the change process

Ignite Talks is a fast-paced geek event started in 2006 by Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis. Since the first Ignite took place in Seattle around 10 years ago, Ignite has become an international phenomenon, with Ignite events produced in Helsinki, Tunisia, Paris, New York City and over 350 other locations in between.

Ignite’s mission is “Everyone Speaks”. We believe that public speaking builds confidence in individuals and that events like Ignite build community. Our goal is to make it possible for anyone, anywhere, to learn to present their ideas and their stories.

Ignite is also about having fun, and showing that presentations don’t need to be about “death by PowerPoint”.
