NEW SCHOLARSHIP THROUGH AMERICORPS
The Voyager Scholarship, an opportunity recently announced by President Obama and Airbnb's Brian Chesky for young leaders who are ready to make their mark in public service.
This opportunity is for students who are:
- Rising college juniors in the U.S.
- Curious about the world
- Committed to the public good
The Voyager Scholarship is accepting applications now through Tuesday, June 14.
Prepare to Protect
With hurricane season officially here, now is the time to prepare your home, family, and community.
The Atlantic hurricane season is June 1st through November 30th, and meteorologists are forecasting a very active storm season, with nineteen named storms, nine hurricanes, and four major hurricanes predicted.
Here are a few tips to help you prepare in advance for the 2022 storm season and shrink the time between disaster and recovery.
Know Your Risk
- Find out what types of wind and water hazards could happen where you live, and then start preparing how to handle them.
- Know if you live in an area prone to flooding and if you’re safe to remain in your home.
- Click Here To Find Your Home's Flood Risk: This tool helps you calculate your future risk based on environmental changes. Even if you've never flooded before, we encourage you to explore.
Update Your Insurance
Contact your insurance company or agent and ask for an insurance check-up to ensure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and belongings. Keep in mind that home and renters insurance doesn’t cover flood events, so you’ll need a separate policy for it.
Strengthen Your Home
- Whether you’re evacuating or planning to ride out the storm, make sure your home is in good repair and has all the emergency supplies stocked and ready.
- Remember to regularly inspect your roof and property to ensure your home is clear of hazards. A property inspection checklist will come in handy when a storm approaches your area.
Put A Plan Together
- Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there in the event of an evacuation. Having a family disaster plan will help your entire household be ready in the event of a major or minor storm.
- Remember to take an inventory of all your belongings and have copies of your important documents.
GET PAID TO PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH
Beloved Community’s inaugural Summer Youth Research Academy is an annual four-week program curated for youth ages 14-18 in New Orleans. The Summer Research Academy trains young people to conduct participatory research to improve their lives, their communities, and the institutions intended to serve them.
Through visits with guest speakers, workshops, activities and excursions, youth participants will engage with topics such as:
- Learning how to tell community stories through art, and storytelling
- Developing research skills such as investigative interviewing and survey design
- Connecting and learning from guest speakers
- Exploring new ways to leverage the creative and political power of youth in New Orleans
Stipends
The goal of the Summer Youth Research Academy is to train youth in the skills needed to become researchers for their community. The Summer Youth Research Academy is a paid research training.
Participants receive $900 for successfully completing all 4 weeks of the summer program.
Additionally, up to 10 participants who complete the summer training will be eligible to be hired as youth researchers during the upcoming school year. School year researchers are paid a $3,600 stipend for 9 months of research work serving the New Orleans community.
Application Instructions
Eligible candidates should access the application here. You will be prompted to provide a short creative response about yourself and why you are interested in the program, along with demographic information, contact information, and an agreement to covid safety protocols. The priority deadline for applications is June 3rd. After June 3rd, applications are accepted on a rolling basis until June 15th, 2022 or we reach capacity - whichever comes first.
ACCESSIBLE INTERNET
As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, President Biden and Vice President Harris worked with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to create the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households $30 per month off their internet bills. To deliver maximum cost savings to families, the Biden-Harris Administration has secured commitments from 20 leading internet providers to offer ACP-eligible households a high-speed internet plan for no more than $30 per month. Eligible families who pair their ACP benefit with one of these plans can receive high-speed internet at no cost.
Media request
A reporter for a national education-focused publication is seeking opportunities to talk with students, of any age and at any kind of college, who receive Pell Grants. If you are interested in sharing your stories and perspectives, please contact Kelly Mae Ross at rosskm@ncan.org for more information.

What are the root causes preventing students from getting a degree?
OneGoal designed and executed a year-long qualitative study to identify the root causes behind our students withdrawing from their postsecondary pathway, otherwise known as “stopping out.” They focused on two research questions:

College enrollment plummeted during the pandemic. This fall, it's even worse
Enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities is on track to fall by another nearly 500,000 undergraduate students this fall, continuing the historic drops that began with the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to new data out Tuesday.
An answer to the "Why COLLEGE?" if someone asks:
"The unemployment rate for all workers with a college degree stood at 2.5 percent in September, compared with 5.8 percent for high school graduates with no college. Among workers 22 to 27, the jobless rate in June was 6.2 percent for those with at least a bachelor’s degree and 9.6 percent for those without one, according to a study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
“We’ve seen a bifurcation in the labor market recovery,” said Gregory Daco, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. “College graduates were less affected by job losses and have seen a faster rebound while people with high school diplomas or less witnessed a much more serious decline in employment opportunities during the Covid crisis.”

Health + Community Events
RESOURCES TO COPE AFTER SCHOOL VIOLENCE
Here are a few ideas about how to help your school community cope and heal:
- Normalize and acknowledge a range of emotional responses. Be sure to emphasize the message that there’s no one right way to feel or respond to a tragedy like this.
- Prioritize connection and caring for staff and students. Emphasize the importance of extending compassion to all members of your community. Remind students of the ways that they can seek support from one another and from caring adults at your school. Focus on activities that foster supportive connections.
- Be prepared to address feelings of unsafety and vulnerability. Emphasize the fact that everyone in the community is working to keep students safe, and—as needed and where appropriate—reissue specific information about school safety procedures.
- Facilitate active and positive coping for students. Keep school routines as normal as possible, while recognizing that some staff and students may need more active support and ways to take breaks. Help everyone prioritize self-care, and build in mindful breaks, stress management strategies, support centers, and movement across the day.
- Identify positive and meaningful actions students can take. Help students plan and implement group discussions, campus events, spiritual activity, or positive community action that directly supports those affected by the incident or helps others who are in need.
- Pay special attention to those who have experienced loss and trauma. Staff and students with histories of trauma may have especially intense emotions and may need extra help and attention in the coming weeks.
- Avoid polarizing conversations and ideological debate. Young people need to focus on healing. Avoid topics that reinforce feelings of anger and helplessness or hopelessness, and focus on what can be done to help and heal.
- Share available resources and support to the entire community. Communicate with teachers, parents, and students about how helpful it can be to seek help from a professional at any time when feelings or thoughts about a tragedy like this come up. Provide information about school counseling and emotional support resources, community mental health resources, and all emergency and crisis text and phone lines.
For more ideas, please read How to Cope With Traumatic Events.
Here are some resources that can help as we work to support and build resilience in our school communities:
- The National Association of School Psychologists has created a very helpful guide to supporting students.
- The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has Tips for Coping with Traumatic Events.
- The American School Counselor Association maintains updated Resources to Support Students after a school shooting.
- The National Child Traumatic Stress Network offers searchable resources that focus on how adults can identify and respond to traumatic responses in young people.
- Facing History and Ourselves created Teaching in the Wake of Violence, a guide for teachers to navigate conversations with their students after news of a mass shooting, terrorist attack, or other violent event.
- JED’s Mental Health Resource Center provides tools to help teens and young adults navigate life’s challenges.
- Seize The Awkward has tips and resources for maintaining mental health and fostering stronger connections with friends and family during challenging moments.
- JED’s and MTV’s Press Pause includes animated PSAs and an online hub with simple mindfulness techniques — like breathing exercises, meditation, perspective checks, music, and movement — to deal with common stresses and challenges that can make young adults feel overwhelmed or hopeless.
We can help every school community cope with these challenging moments in healthy ways, and remind each other that we are not alone.
If you or someone you know needs help immediately, text “START” to 741-741, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255), dial 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. Find more information and resources at jedfoundation.org/help.
