As a dad of teens, I've seen firsthand how important mental health is for this generation. Proud of my @Googleorg team for this $10M commitment! Partnering with @selenagomez & @DonorsChoose. Teachers, get $500 for projects! @google https://t.co/8o5TSOt7MC

We’re launching the https://t.co/VpXJH2rrdL AI Opportunity Fund to equip 1M Americans with AI skills. Today we kicked off with @IVMFSyracuseU and we’ll work with @GoodWillIntl throughout 2024 to deliver #GrowWithGoogle AI Essentials to workers and learners https://t.co/0NLiRo8bWm

Happy 25th Google! I was lucky enough to bring my daughter Jaelyn, and 20 of her fellow middle schoolers from Oakland, California to Mark Rober’s CrunchLabs to kick off this project (egg drops, Nerf gun battles, and building ball launcher robotic kits with laser trip wires!)

We’re celebrating @Google’s 25th birthday with $10M in grants to @FIRSTweets + @REC_Foundation to support robotics clubs + #AI learning for 300k+ middle schoolers. We felt it only appropriate to have @MarkRober help us inspire the next gen of innovators https://t.co/sJWRlkS0bD

Thrilled for my @Googleorg team's $20M initiative bolstering cybersecurity clinics across US campuses. Moderated a potent dialogue between 20 bright students, Sundar, & university leaders. Catch me at :35 in the video :) Kudos @MaabIbrahim for leading the charge. #Cybersecurity

We're looking back at last week's announcement of our @Google #Cybersecurity Certificate Fund with @Cyber_Clinics. Head to the link below to learn more about the work we’re doing to invest in America’s cybersecurity workforce: https://t.co/Socde7ha8J #GoogleOrg

We were delighted to have Alumni from @HiddenGeniusPro, a #GoogleOrg grantee, visit our Mountain View Campus and meet with @Google leaders like @sundarpichai yesterday! The future is in good hands with this next generation of tech execs and entrepreneurs.

8 years after leaving the @YearUp family to join @Googleorg, everything came full circle today with our announcement of a $100M Google Career Certificates Fund to generate $1B of wage gains for underserved learners https://t.co/XU8j0guGxb

[Justin Steele @justinrsteele]

Participants receive these services at no up-front cost and graduates will only make low, no-interest monthly payments if they land a job earning $40,000+ annually. @SocialFinanceUS will also reinvest repayments back into the program for future learners.

@ClintSmithIII reminds us that "much of the story we tell about history is really the story we tell about ourselves." As DuBois would say, the "propaganda of history." https://t.co/dnOGLHvvkW

It's a privilege to work directly with Maab over these past several years at https://t.co/S9MhwteUz3. She's been a relentless force for justice and community-led change, and she's changing the face and substance of corporate philanthropy.

"While criminal justice operates as a system, in practice, justice issues happen through a series of individual interactions."

If we don't create these spaces, we will be paralyzed by the "politics" of these issues. As @mikemcafee06 points out, this is democracy in action and we won't get to liberation without it.

Thanks @NorCalGrant for a great discussion on racial equity and the future of corporate philanthropy this week. My key takeaway: we need to create more infrastructure and space within companies to hold difficult conversations about competing perspectives and values.
