We are proud to recognize Kayshawna Evans, Jazaree Willis, Mekhi McKinsey and Gregory Pepin for their completion of the Train the Trainer program with a celebration at Selena’s.

These 4 youth leaders have completed 8 months of training led by SpreadKarma Collective and are now eligible to become trainers in the program. Each youth represents a different youth led organization across Monroe County.

We appreciate our partners, Levine Center to End Hate, PECAN parents, and family members who came out to celebrate.

Over the past 9 months, PECAN parent leaders have engaged actively in amplifying the power of parent voice within ROC the Future Alliance (RtFA), in the greater Rochester area, and nationally through StriveTogether.

We extend a special congratulations to PECAN Co-Chair, Maurice Haskins, for joining the ED Trust New York State Parent Advisory Board.

Centered around Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) continuous improvement cycles, we use the simplest of tools and protocols that support communities from identifying results they want to achieve to quantifying improvements and spreading successful practices. At the heart of this practice is an unwavering commitment to using data — quantitative and qualitative — to understand the impact of strategies or practices. This component of the approach also encourages communities to consider opportunities to adopt, adapt or abandon efforts based on their results. -From StriveTogether Collaborative Improvement
