MeckEd runs a model workforce development initiative known as Career Pathways. In December 2016, MeckEd launched a public-private partnership in collaboration with the office of the Mayor that is focused on creating more and better Out of School Time for middle school students.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0In the past year, MeckEd has gained more clarity about its work and role; increased support from a distinguished Board of Directors; fostered enhanced outreach and strengthened its media profile. Everything MeckEd does is driven by an unyielding commitment to transforming the lives of young people who face obstacles that limit their access to educational excellence. Like you, we see a bright future for our youth and our community. Dr. Ross Danis assumed the leadership of the organization in January 2016. Most recently he served as the founding president and CEO of the Newark Trust for Education, an independent non-profit operating in Newark NJ with a similar mission and focus as MeckEd. Danis brings over 30 years of experience as a principal, district leader, foundation executive, and university dean to his work with MeckEd in Charlotte. In 2016-2017 MeckEd held 15 community engagement sessions, two Community Conversations, appeared on 13 news broadcasts, was quoted in 14 newspaper articles, garnered over 40,000 Twitter impressions, and over 30,000 Facebook impressions- all evidence of MeckEds continuously expanding presence as a go-to, independent and credible source of education related information.
