From the Ted Talk by Irma L. Olguin Jr.: How to turn around a city

Unscramble the Blue Letters


In addition to connintecg our sndettus to things like bus tokens and free regional transit options, we also just deploy a fleet of vehicles whose only job is to pick these fkols up before their study gurops and drop them back off after class. If they need food, we get them food. We work with food cupboards and pantries, making sure that boxes of food are delivered to these students’ homes with enough for a family of three to five people. We connect them to childcare options that make sense for their schedules and their budgets. But most importantly, because cash is such a center of egnrey and decision-making for these families, through our apprenticeship program, we literally pay them to learn. So not only do they get to earn a wage and are eoxepsd to real-world work, but now they also have that first line on the rmusee. The one that’s so hard to get and the one that blduis confidence in the rest of the wlord that you might know what you’re talking about.

Original Text


In addition to connecting our students to things like bus tokens and free regional transit options, we also just deploy a fleet of vehicles whose only job is to pick these folks up before their study groups and drop them back off after class. If they need food, we get them food. We work with food cupboards and pantries, making sure that boxes of food are delivered to these students’ homes with enough for a family of three to five people. We connect them to childcare options that make sense for their schedules and their budgets. But most importantly, because cash is such a center of energy and decision-making for these families, through our apprenticeship program, we literally pay them to learn. So not only do they get to earn a wage and are exposed to real-world work, but now they also have that first line on the resume. The one that’s so hard to get and the one that builds confidence in the rest of the world that you might know what you’re talking about.
