Through her connection with Help Me Grow and diligent contact tracers, as well as generous community donors, volunteers, and former kgg client the Allied Foundation, she was able to provide door-to-door deliveries of diapers, wipes, and formula to those desperately in need or suffering with covid.

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

Well, I'm not totally sure who the audience is, but if they are interested in learning more about small nonprofits in the area, I can speak to this! I can also discuss the challenges and rewards of founding a nonprofit--seeing a need in the community and addressing it, as well as how to recruit, train, and maintain a team of volunteers.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

About org: READ 718 is a nonprofit literacy organization located in Brooklyn, NY. We provide 1:1, individualized reading instruction to children in grades 1-8 who are from low-income households and who are reading below grade level. We recruit and train hundreds of community volunteers each year to implement tutoring. 

About Emily Kirven: Emily began teaching in the New York City public school system in 1997. As an English Language Arts teacher in a Brooklyn public middle school, Emily faced a particular challenge: many of her middle school students were reading far below grade level and her training as a secondary English teacher did not help her address these students’ needs. Frustrated by her inability to help the students efficiently and directly, and recognizing the problem as widespread, Emily returned to TeachersCollege, Columbia University to earn an MA and state certification as a Reading Specialist to better understand the problem of how to help to struggle middle-grade and adolescent readers. After graduating from Columbia, Emily worked to develop and build READ 718, opening the reading center doors to the community in January 2015. Since then, READ 718 has provided thousands of hours of targeted, 1:1 instruction to over 500 children.

Fridays 10:00am - 11:00am (EDT)

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is not a rare occurrence. SCA is the third leading cause of death in theU.S., affecting more than 356,000 people each year, including more than 23,000 young people under age18. SCA survival rate has remained at about 10 percent for

 30 years because we aren’t as prepared as we should be to help save lives. Is your home, school, sports league, business, organization, or place of worship heart safe? Knowing CPR, how to use an AED (automated external defibrillators), having an AED on site

 and a defined emergency action plan is critical.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Melinda Murray-Nyack is the Founder and President of the Dominic A. Murray 21 Memorial Foundation (DomHeart21). DomHeart21 was established in 2010 after the tragic death of 17-year-old Dominic Murray. Dominic was stricken by sudden cardiac arrest while playing

 basketball at school. Those who witnessed Dominic’s collapse did not recognize that he was in cardiac distress, which delayed CPR and an AED wasn’t used until EMS arrived. By then it was too late. The real tragedy is, it was not until Dominic’s autopsy, that

 his congenital heart condition was revealed. Just three years before Dominic's sudden death, his father had a fatal heart attack at the age of 42. Suddenly a widow and a parent who lost her only child, Melinda devoted her life mission to championing life-saving Outreach.
