About this organization
Mission
To ensure that all children in Mecklenburg County have access to an excellent public education that results in the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to lead productive, successful lives.
About
During the 2017-2018 school year, MeckEds Career Pathways initiative served over 2,000 students in six Charlotte Mecklenburg High Schools by providing work-based learning opportunities and intensive support, career training, placement, and coaching for over 200. MeckEds Out of School Time initiative, Charlotte NEXT launched a program Locater to help parents and caregivers find enrichment programs for children. Since it was launched in early 2017, the Locater has received over 10,000 on-line visitors and today is profiling over 450 different enrichment programs! Additionally, MeckEd provides professional development to 26 different After School enrichment providers positively impacting over 10,000 students. A pilot program in three high need CMS middle Schools is supporting five different program providers who are offering over 6,000 additional hours of enrichment to students. A partnership with UNCCs Urban Institute has resulted in an evaluation of the impact of the program and a partnership with the Mecklenburg County Youth Coalition and the Mayors Mentoring Alliance has resulted in including mentors on the Locater as well as the cross marketing of all three initiatives. MeckEd also holds eight Community Conversations annually to assist in spotlighting critical issues related to young people and their preparation for success. During the past year, MeckEd informed, and engaged over 150 civic leaders and program providers on topics that included Effective Career and Technical Education, The Impact of Desegregation and Re-segregation on CMS Children and Families, and The Power and Promise of Out of School Time Enrichment Programs. MeckEd also organizes and presents, as it has for the past several years, two major community events: Teachers of Excellence (ToE) and the MeckEd Annual Community Breakfast (ACB).ToE celebrates 20 CMS teachers through an event that local education stakeholders refer to as the Oscars for Teachers. The Annual Community Breakfasts focuses on the impact of our programs by spotlighting the resilience and success of participating Career Pathways and Charlotte NEXT students and families.
