Stakeholders in our next generation
The future legacy of our nation is currently "at risk". Here are some statistics:
- The high school dropout rate of the top 50 cities in our nation is at 51.2%!
- The average high school graduate student today, without any further training or education, will experience a 42% employment rate over the age of 25! That’s 58% unemployment experience over the course of their lives.
- Behavior lost time in schools today accounts for over 70% of the suspension occurrences. Ignoring school policy rules is the top contributor!
- In Connecticut alone, the lost time in 2005 was equivalent to 2080 students missing an entire school year!
-
The most recent statistics on U.S. standings on "behavior" (Crime-FBI national bureau statistics- source) indicate that we are a nation at risk today:
- #1 in assaults per year –over 2.2 million ( S Africa 2nd at 500,000/yr)
- #4 in drug related offenses -560 per 100,000 ( only Switzerland, Netherlands, New Zealand higher)
- #6 in capital offenses in the world – over 12000 murders per year!
- #1 in overall incarcerations – over 2 million in jails ( China 2nd at 1.5 million)- but they have almost 10 times the population!
The figures are overwhelming. But each of us can make a difference. It will take commitment, time, and most of all a sense of social responsibility. Education and awareness for our youth is only part of the solution. Each community must be determined to support change. Here’s how you can help.
Community Action Leadership
Social responsibility and change - you can make a difference!
Lifefaqs commitment to make a difference "community by community" requires partners who are like minded and like spirited!
Our mission is to come along side community leaders who want their legacy to impact their community for the better. If you want to be a "difference-maker", we want to work with you!
We want to work with community leaders who "see the need and are willing to fill the need". Community champions, who recognize that change requires action, and that leadership makes it happen. Not cheer leaders, but "share" leaders. Stakeholders in our next generation. Men and women who have a passion to share a new vision and legs of support. By contacting us,we can show you how you can work within your community to support change in a "generation at risk".
