Episode SummaryBoarding school. Enrichment and personal growth experiences. A supportive community. Natalie Tung is creating all of this … for black and brown high school girls in Trenton. The idea took shape while Natalie was at Princeton and reflected on her own difficult experience growing up in Hong Kong. Now, just a few years later, she's hit the tipping point. Meet the budding “Sal Kahn” for minority high-school girls.Sydney Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.

Growing up in a numbers-driven public school system in Hong Kong, Natalie had an unhealthy relationship with learning. This relationship changed when she had the opportunity to attend a boarding school in New Jersey. More importantly, living with 40 girls at such a young age empowered her to become more empathetic and confident, and these women are still her support system today. While earning her teaching certificate as a sophomore at Princeton University, Natalie started HomeWorks with the idea of replicating this experience for girls in marginalized communities around the world. Since 2016, she has run five programs with 50 participants, raised over $1.9 million in cash and in-kind donations, and built a diverse team of 6 full-time and five part-time staff, board members, interns, and volunteers. Natalie and HomeWorks have been recognized by McKinsey & Company, Camelback Ventures, Barclays, Comcast, Hollister, TRESemmé, Echoing Green, Vital Voices, Penn Graduate School of Education, Princeton University, and more.Insights from this episode: Details about HomeWorks Trenton programThe problem HomeWorks Trenton is seeking to solveHow Natalie's school experience shaped herNatalie's conviction to help women of colorHow HomeWorks Trenton program is aligned to Natalie's missionPartners she has worked with to equip her scholars and make them ready for collegeNatalie's challenges running the programNatalie's aspiration for HomeWorksQuotes from the show:“What we are doing here is not only replicating a boarding school and bringing it to public schools and with all the benefits of the wrap-around learning and all that, but also doing so in a way that reverses the narrative that our kids need to leave their communities to be successful.”–Natalie Tung [6:29]“At the core of what we are doing, we are creating a community specifically for our black and brown girls here in Trenton to reclaim power over their cultures, identities, and experiences.“ –Natalie Tung [6:41]“I truly believe in the power of women. I believe that when women come together and when we really are at the forefront of things, magic happens” –Natalie Tung [17:39]“I was in a community of women who were my age, and just being able to live with so many different kinds of girls and to be vulnerable with each other at the age of 13/14, it was such a unique experience. It did make me more confident” –Natalie Tung [18:40]“Our values are intentionality, empathy, and community. Something that we are trying to do is making sure that we are being intentional about every single thing we do at HomeWorks, every decision, every policy we have” –Natalie Tung [22:48]“We want to build a culture where our kids feel safe, where they are here to grow. We all make mistakes but we are here to learn and just feel like we have each other's backs” –Natalie Tung [23:03]“I very much believe in the power of women and I very much believe in the power of community, and I know a lot of other who people believe in it too” –Natalie Tung [33:24]“I think the beauty about HomeWorks and about our team is that we have a really diverse group of people within our staff” –Natalie Tung [43:28]Stay connected:Sydney FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastNatalie TungLinkedIn: Natalie Tung Instagram: Natalie Tung HomeWorks Trenton Website: https://www.homeworkstrenton.org/HomeWorks Trenton Brochure: https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/62642925/homeworks-trenton-pamphletHomeWorks Trenton Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOjhQRJT7VgSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

At this week's Round Table, Divya, Inica, Isaiah, and Madeline spoke with Andy Danilchick, CoFounder and Director of the Project for Mental Health and Optimal Development (PMHOD) at Penn Graduate School of Education. We spoke about the impact of the last 14 months on students' mental health and well being--and the conditions that will nurture them on the other side. Andy shared the guiding question he and his Center have operated by during the pandemic: how do we help in this time of intense pressure and change that educators and students are facing? We talked about the toll Covid and other stressors are taking on both students and teachers--and how differently they're playing out for some than others; the importance of learner-centered approaches; and what else schools can do to support students' mental health and flourishing. Oh, and we talked about our OWN mental states. Thank you for joining us! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nextgenpolitics/message
