2529 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH 44113

EYEJ engages middle and high school youth in programs designed to build community, develop their civic voice and civil discourse, develop social-emotional learning and promote social justice for its core program –the Discussion Series. Having served youth now in 13 schools and 4 recreation centers new avenues for the Discussion Series have been requested by multiple entities for support of our youth. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, EYEJ responded quickly to our youth being out of school, and created the Y.O.D.J. program – youth online discussing justice. Y.O.D.J. is a 12 week online Discussion Series program (8 weeks) with a Reflection event (4 weeks) for 6-8th grade youth to exchange ideas and perspectives in an online classroom with diverse and empowered community members, peers, and volunteers twice weekly.

Breakthrough Victory Fund for

Friends of Breakthrough Schools
ChildrenEducation
3615 Superior Ave Building 44, Suite 4403A, Cleveland, OH 44114

During the last few months of the 2019-2020 school year, Breakthrough Schools, along with schools across Ohio, were shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Breakthrough’s model education leaders began meeting virtually to create the initial virtual learning plan, and established a suggested schedule for remote learning, identified select online resources, and built out core structures. This grew into the 2020 Breakthrough Distance Learning Plan. The Plan outlined remote working expectations, family outreach plans, and device distribution. We made sure that every student had a working device and internet access to participate in the program. 500 hotspots were purchased to be distributed to families in need, and we connected with local organizations to assist some of our families in gaining online connectivity. Breakthrough offered distance learning plans through the end of the school year and plans to continue to offer online resources over the summer for our students.The Breakthrough Scholars’ Victory Fund was established to lead us to positive outcomes as we navigate this unfamiliar terrain. Donations from the Victory Fund are being used to provide the technology necessary for our current and new families being enrolled. This is guaranteeing them the chance to continue to learn remotely throughout the summer and into the 2020-2021 school year.We are making sure that EVERY family in our network has access to the best education under the circumstances and the Breakthrough Scholar’s Victory Fund is helping to make that possible!

Create a Team and Raise Funds for Walk, Rock and Run!

The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio
Social Justice & Equality
3659 Green Rd #220, Beachwood, OH 44122

Now more than ever, we’re so grateful for the community that has funded, volunteered, celebrated, and advocated for The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio through the years. At a time when everything feels uncertain, we find comfort and encouragement knowing that you care about our cause.

Our Walk, Rock and Run will be held virtually on June 21st. Diversity Center staff members, and special surprise guests will be live on Facebook and Instagram at 8:30 a.m., walking the route with you. You may walk or run virtually between June 21st and July 6th. For details, visit https://www.diversitycenterneo.org/events/walk-rock-run/

While much of the world has stopped, our mission to eliminate bias, bigotry and racism will not be placed on pause. That’s why we’re asking you to help us cover the cost of continuing our diversity, equity and inclusion work with students.

We have all seen how the impact of COVID-19 is especially severe for those in marginalized socio-economic groups (people of color, the elderly, youth, people with disabilities, indigenous people, members of the LGBTQ+ community, refugees, and migrants).

Our programming, in School & Youth, SHIFT Consulting, and in LeadDIVERSITY, is a strong antidote to the bias, bigotry and racism that has created such inequity.

Our work is needed now, more than ever!

Participating virtually and donating to Walk, Rock and Run, is the safest, simplest, and most effective way to ensure that we can continue our School & Youth programming as we adapt to ever-changing circumstances due to COVID-19.

If you were planning on attending Walk, Rock and Run this year, consider donating in the amount that you would have spent on gasoline, parking, breakfast and coffee, had you attended the event. Please consider a donation of $25 to $50 or more.

While all of us are facing great challenges at this time, we hope that you can find some peace knowing that because of your generosity, we are working overtime to develop an additional program delivery model, Distance Learning.

Click Here to Donate to Walk, Rock and Run

On behalf of all of us at The Diversity Center, thank you for being a part of our community. Thank you for helping us to create communities where all people are connected, respected and valued. We wish you and your family health, safety, and happiness. With your support, not only will we get through this, but we will come out stronger.

Join the competition for the 2nd Annual Workplace Traveling Trophy and Top Individual Fundraising Prize! The Diversity Center will award prizes in two categories: Workplace and Individual. You will have bragging rights for a year! Grand Marshal Russ Mitchell, Channel 3 News Anchor WKYC TV-3 will present your trophy or prize to you at TV-3. You will also be featured on TV-3's website and The Diversity Center's website. Start your Walk, Rock and Run Team today! To qualify for the prizes, The Diversity Center must be in receipt of all funds by 4 p.m. on Monday, July, 6th! For more information contact, Pat Lyden at 216-752-3000 ext. 230 or [email protected]

Invest in Music’s Power to Connect & Heal

The Music Settlement (TMS)
Arts & CultureChildrenVeterans & Military Families
Music School Settlement, 11125 Magnolia Dr, Cleveland, OH 44106

Education has come a long way since Sir Isaac Pitman initiated the first distance education course in the early 1840s. The one-size-fits-all educational approach of the past is being transformed as a result of changing worldwide dynamics. Regardless of these changing dynamics, however, one true constant remains – the power and importance of music. For more than a century, TMS has cultivated the power of music as an educational, community-building and public health tool. We have adapted to the needs and interests of our constituents for 108 years. Clearly, while music is very important, an argument can be made that, compared to the heroic public health workers and organizations that are directly addressing life-and-death issues, music’s importance pales. But to underestimate the importance of music in our lives and communities, particularly in times like these, is misguided. Throughout time, music has offered hope and comfort amid fear and uncertainty. But in the age of this novel coronavirus, accessing and investing in music is infinitely more important for another reason. Following closely on the heels of the virus will emerge an emotional and mental health crisis within our populace. The impact of social separation and isolation on issues relating to depression, loneliness, hopelessness and suicide may skyrocket. Research tells us that music is one of our most powerful therapeutic tools in helping to mitigate the effects and impact of depression, anxiety disorders, stress, loneliness and isolation. Music can elevate an individual’s mood, resulting in a more positive outlook. It also offers a pathway to connecting with other humans.
