ENVISION EQUITY JUNE <strong>2019</strong> A Mile In MY SHOES First Annual Walk to Support At- Risk Youth In JCPS By Abdul Sharif, Generalist—Diversity, Equity, and Poverty Programs Department The Office of Diversity Equity, and Poverty is always looking for innovative ways to bring awareness to issues affecting our most vulnerable students. So it was no surprise when Giselle Danger-Mercaderes and her team started to organize a walk to support at -risk youth in Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS). Dubbed “A Mile in My Shoes” the one-mile-walk was intended to provide participants with an opportunity to learn about some of the barriers JCPS students face everyday. As participants walked the mile-long route, signs with statistics about homelessness, immigrant/refugee students, students in foster care, and more, were displayed to educate walkers. The first annual walk was attended by more than 60 individuals, and several vendors were present from organizations including the Louisville Metro Police Department, the Louisville Free Public Library, the Home of the Innocents, just to name a few. It is safe to say this walk would not have been possible without the countless hours of hard work by Giselle Danger-Mercaderes and her team in the Diversity Equity, and Poverty’s Office of Student Equity and Community Engagement.
