We highly recommend this film by DC Documentarians Brandon (director) and lance (producer) Kramer, "The First Step."

"In a divided America, progressive activist and political commentator Van Jones controversially works across party lines on landmark criminal justice reform and a more humane response to the addiction crisis. Attempting to be a bridge builder in a time of extreme polarization takes Van and a coalition of unlikely allies deep into the inner workings of a divisive administration, internal debates within both parties, and the lives of frontline activists fighting for their communities."

"THE FIRST STEP is now widely available to view at home on: Apple TV+, Google Play, and Youtube Movies & TV, in addition to Amazon, where the film currently has a 100% Five-Star Rating."

We need mentors!  This summer the Nashman Center will have 75 college student interns -- all VISTA Summer Associates -- from GW and other schools around the country serving with us at GW in partnership with DC Public Schools, leading a middle school program that supports middle schoolers in making change in their school and community. This is part of an internship in which 300 total college students will serve at Smithsonian, Emerson Collective, in New Orleans, Atlanta, and Charlotte, NC.  
We are looking for professionals at all levels and backgrounds to serve as mentors to these students in a structured 8 week program, 30 minutes each week, from mid June to August 5. 
Please complete the ECYC Mentor application.  We will use this application to help pair our 300 interns with 300 mentors.  The application will be used to best pair interns with mentors based on background, interest and experience.
Feel free to share with colleagues who might be great mentors!
