I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text...

Michael Lynch, the visionary co-founder and CEO of Improve Your Tomorrow (IYT), brings his compelling insights on bridging education and health equity for young men of color. We explore how IYT provides robust support from seventh grade through college to close the college opportunity gap. Michael shares inspiring stories like that of Oscar, a former student turned board member, showcasing IYT's transformational impact on breaking cycles of poverty and unhealthy habits. This narrative underscores the critical importance of fostering a sense of belonging and motivation, which are essential for educational success and health awareness.

The episode also shines a light on the pivotal role played by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation's Impact Fund, supported generously by the Keller Family Pathway Fund. We discuss how such strategic philanthropy enables impactful contributions toward health equity initiatives. With the foundation's guidance, individuals and businesses can navigate charitable giving to effectively address pressing community needs. These efforts not only help create more connected communities but also ensure environments where individuals can thrive both academically and personally.
