What if the key to transforming communities was investing in teen moms? In the U.S., 1.5 million children are being raised by single mothers under 30. Often, those moms are treated as problems to manage instead of leaders to empower. New Moms is flipping that script. The Chicago-based nonprofit provides housing, job training, and coaching to young mothers. It's not just to help them survive motherhood, but to help them thrive as individuals. And it works: 73% of New Moms participants double their income. Over half pursue higher education or employment. 77% secure stable housing. For every dollar invested, nearly four dollars in social return is created within five years. But the impact goes beyond stats. It’s in the confidence of mothers like Dilleyona Miller, once written off as “another teen mom,” now raising three boys with pride, purpose, and stability. When we invest in young mothers, we're not just supporting one life. We’re shaping families, neighborhoods, and futures: https://lnkd.in/enPwGxdt

What if the best restaurant in town was also the one changing how we see disability? At Hugs Café in McKinney, Texas, 53 of the 75 employees have intellectual and developmental disabilities. But you won't find them doing busywork. They're running the kitchen, managing the register, leading staff huddles, and even speaking on stage as brand ambassadors. Instead of asking what their staff can’t do, the team at Hugs listens, adapts, and creates roles that match each person’s strengths. The result is a workplace that’s not just inclusive. It’s exceptional. Customers come for the sandwiches. They leave with a new understanding of what’s possible when we treat everyone like they belong. This isn't just a café. It’s a model for what dignity at work can look like and a glimpse at the kind of world we could build if we started from belief, not limitation: https://lnkd.in/e6xKWKUe
