We will hear from Dr. Donnell Butler, Founder and President of Opportunity College. Opportunity College designs and builds career-connected postsecondary pathways to accelerate youth from lower-income households into careers in tech that lead to upward mobility.  Drawing from his extensive background in education and his personal journey as a first-generation college student from the South Bronx, Dr. Butler will share insights on how high-quality work-based learning experiences can transform both individual lives and entire communities. He will discuss the potential for a community-wide initiative that brings together businesses, schools, and civic organizations to create meaningful opportunities for young people in York. This talk promises to offer practical strategies for energizing York’s future workforce and fostering a more vibrant local economy for all.
