Building Inclusive Futures Through Collaborative Community Projects - Part 2

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

Imagine transforming unused spaces into life-changing opportunities. In our latest episode, we sit down with Dr. Glennell M Lee Pruitt, president of Jarvis Christian University, to uncover groundbreaking solutions for community investment. Learn how the university is breathing new life into empty dormitories by offering housing to young adults aging out of the foster care system. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative strategies for community development and higher education, as Dr. Pruitt emphasizes the power of "fishing differently" through non-traditional solutions and impactful community partnerships.
We also explore the broader landscape of generating revenue for community initiatives without sacrificing social impact. From utilizing unused university acreage for housing to the inspiring story of a church building apartments above its sanctuary, this episode highlights the necessity of bold, outside-the-box thinking. Dr. Pruitt shares insights from the "Fishing Differently" conference, where leaders from various sectors come together to tackle community problems. With a focus on inclusivity, representation, and leveraging technology, this episode offers a fresh perspective on fostering a more equitable future through collaborative and innovative community engagement.
