SAMARITAN'S FEET

Samaritan’s Feet believes that a new pair of shoes can provide a tangible foundation of hope and the opportunity for a better life, prompt children to focus in school and families not to worry, and protect feet to decrease the possibility of getting a foot-borne disease.

Join us at one of four different schools in the Charlotte area to pass out new shoes to children in need. Many of the children in these communities have never owned a brand new pair of shoes and the shoes they do own are in need of repair or replacement.

Engaging Men as Partners to Create a Healthy Workplace Culture

Inclusive workplaces are essential to build high-performing teams, fuel collaboration and innovation, spark trust and belonging, and attract and retain the best people. Yet even today, women continue to be left behind. How can we fix this? Catalyst CEO Jennifer McCollum has a surprising answer: By shifting the conversation to include men. There has been much focus on how to help women overcome systemic barriers so they can advance and thrive. Yet we’ve inadvertently done it in a way that leaves men excluded and blamed or – on the other side - hailed as the hero in saving women. It’s time for a new conversation, one that acknowledges that we all are struggling in the workplace because of expectations about how we are “supposed” to show up, with women as collaborative pleasers and men as assertive competitors. These unwritten rules harm both genders. Catalyst, a leading global nonprofit in women’s advancement and inclusion, has decades of research and practice to help men and women alike break free from behaviors that serve none of us well—and work together in partnership to reshape workplace culture so that everyone thrives.
