George Washington High School is helping students prepare for life after graduation by hosting an assembly with an organization dedicated to empowering the next generation.The event is all about giving students in grades 10-12 the tools and inspiration they need to succeed after graduation.

Trendsetter Foundation’s event, called ‘The 3E’s: Enrollment, Enlistment, Employment,’ helps high school students explore a wide range of post-graduation opportunities. Founder John Gaiters says he was inspired to start the foundation four years ago.

The assembly is designed to introduce students to a variety of career and education pathways, from enrolling in college, to enlisting in the military, or jumping straight into the workforce. Skills taught include the importance of networking, advocating for themselves, and exploring their options.

The event wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of sponsors like Wade Davis, The DuJuan and Tina McCoy Foundation, and the Gina Radke of Galley Support Innovations.

The nonprofit Indy Health District is taking action to improve heath outcomes for underserved communities on the near north side of Indianapolis.Indiana University Indianapolis has been named the lead evaluator of the program.

Metrics include data on people’s quality of life, social determinants of health, and an increase in life expectancy for the community.

According to Indy Health District, data from the latest U.S. census said people who live within the district’s footprint die 20 years sooner than people in surrounding neighborhoods.

The evaluation effort is conducted in partnership with IU Indianapolis’ The Polis Center and the nonprofit Health by Design. Some of the variables that IU Indianapolis will evaluate are crash hot spots for pedestrians and bicyclists; green spaces; and access to prenatal and long-term health care.

Data will be updated every year, and community surveys will be conducted every other year.

The first official community gathering event for the Indy Health District will be held Nov. 20, where Yeager and other organizations hope to get public feedback.
