Word to Life! A mental health program through our Progeny program that helps youth navigate and express themselves through music and spoken word.

Thank you Wichita Foundation for uplifting this program.

This song was created by youth at Sowers Alternative High School.

Our youth will always be the best investment we can make that yields the best returns.

Rise. - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly 05/15/2024

Check out this incredible article "Rise." by our very own Policy Manager for Progeny, Shanae’ Calhoun of Willow Consulting- Organizational Leadership Development.

Article: https://nonprofitquarterly.org/rise/

"To Black women leaders everywhere: society was built on—and society continues to stand on—our backs. This is both a mark of honor and a heavy burden. In meeting rooms, coffee corners, and water-cooler chats, Black women bring our brilliance and resilience. But let’s not shy away from acknowledging the elephant in the room: the unique hurdles that Black women often confront in the workplace. I’m not interested in a pity party; rather, I seek to celebrate our strength, our tenacity, and our power to rewrite the narrative."

Rise. - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly Resilient organizations are built on our backs and by the sweat of our brows. And we’ve been doing it with meager resources and credit….We must refuse to let White-led, soul-crushing organizations and spaces exhaust us to the point of retreat. Organizational culture must be set by executive lead...
