Justin Aglio: Preparing Each Student for Personal, Professional, and Civic Success

Justin Aglio: Preparing Each Student for Personal, Professional, and Civic Success
Justin: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Students are sitting in classrooms today with a sense of fearlessness and optimism, ready to create a brighter and more prosperous world, and, as such, our way of thinking and how we prepare learners must evolve and change. “What would it take to prepare each and every student for personal, professional, and civic success?” First, we need to prepare students to be lifelong learners, people with the ability to reskill and upskill as needed. Second, we must find ways to give students real-world experiences that are transferable beyond near-term job openings. Third, we must create meaningful ways for students to lead in their communities and collaborate with others to make the world livable for all.

Tiffany Yau: Creating Social Entrepreneurial Curriculum to Empower Youth
Tiffany: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! From surveying 680 high school students, I found that many care about making a positive social impact and want to start a business, but many don’t know how or have the confidence to do either. The difference in these numbers is more stark in lower-income communities where 62% of students lack access or can’t afford an entrepreneurship education at their schools. Fulphil creates equitable, inclusive, and fun social entrepreneurial curriculum to empower youth to make a positive impact in their careers.
