NOTE: If you don’t know why I’m doing all this giving and mileage stuff, read my original post.

It is super hard for me to believe that a month has passed by once again. It’s harder to believe that it’s been two months since I asked myself this question, “When the outrage ends, will you be someone who continues to make a difference?” While I’m on the third round of giving, this has nothing to do with how much I’m giving and everything to do with challenging myself to keep racism and inequity at the forefront of my mind, in my own unique way. Otherwise, I’m afraid I may forget and become complacent.

This month I’ve hit 170 miles of running and will be paying it on to Mission Accomplished Transition Services! Coach Carmen, the founder of Mission Accomplished, is someone that I consider as a superhero in the Albany community and is someone who is passionate about helping others succeed and make a difference in the world.

Mission Accomplished Transition Services

To help aspiring young professionals prepare for the global economy by providing access to coaching, job training and professional development.

We believe everyone should have access to intentional guidance that will help them reach their fullest potential. At Mission Accomplished Transition Services we serve as coaches, mentors and sponsors. As coaches, we assist students with establishing and achieving measurable goals. As mentors, we informally assist students with navigating through their personal and professional lives. As sponsors, we use our network and influence to give students access to influential people, meaningful careers and assist with all or some of the costs for professional development opportunities.

During coaching sessions students gain clarity on next steps, their passion, their purpose, and develop confidence in their ability to lead their transition into the global workforce, higher education and a life of giving back.

At the core of our philosophy, we help students “MELC IT.”

“MELC IT” stands for:

Mobilize - resources while learning to teach others
Employ - and evaluate personal and professional goals by meeting self-directed expectations
Lead - by example
Create - and apply innovative ideas to real world situations
Initiate - projects from start to finish
Take - ownership of their own destiny
