Studer Community Institute is making a difference in our community on so many different levels. Through the "Brain Bags" that parents receive when their infant is born to the robust leadership development programs and courses offered by SCI - virtually and in-person - people are learning, growing, and thriving!

SCI's annual "EntreCon" event brings together world-class speakers and content for attendees participating from throughout the United States and beyond. The two-day event generates ideas, passions, and the fuel to take business leaders to the next level.

I'm incredibly excited to see all of the great things that SCI is doing, and has in store, for our community!

I love everything that Studer Community Institute provides. I am a member of the Emerging Leaders Roundtable Group. I have learned so much about being a leader and I have developed numerous networking and mentor relationships through the process. I have been able to introduce many of the programs and services into my college courses and my students are not only benefiting from those resources but they are getting involved in the community themselves. I also enjoy the conferences and events that the Institue provides. The Student Community Institute is an amazing resource for the Pensacola community.

SCI is focused on creating and sustaining real change in our community by focusing on the root causes of the disparities in economic, educational and social well-being that hold communities back from prosperity. The tagline may seem simple — building brains, building jobs, building community — but it is so powerful. At the heart of SCI's mission is mentoring and skill-building. Mentoring with research-supported tools and strategies for families and caregivers to be better first teachers of children aged birth to 5 so that more children can be ready for kindergarten. Mentoring for entrepreneurs on starting and growing their economic dreams. Mentoring for business owners and employees to grow their skills in leadership so that existing businesses can thrive. Mentoring for citizens through the CivicCon public lecture series that bring subject matter-experts to the city to share best practices in sustainable growth, development, urban-placemaking, housing, homelessness and dozens of other topics that aim to make the community a better place to live, work and play. Every component of SCI — early brain development, entrepreneur support, business and leadership skill-building and civic engagement —tackles an existing, real-world problem with work that can be done in the here and now. Baked into that work is the knowledge that the ultimate return on this investment may take years to truly be felt. Because of the team's belief in driving where the data leads, the road may be long, but final destination will be well worth the journey.

The Studer Community Institute stands out as an organization that truly cares about and proactively works toward their mission of improving the quality of lives in the communities in which they serve. The team is professional, positive and driven - always a pleasure to interact with. The organization works toward educating adults now through CivicCon, community conversations to raise awareness about relevant topics, professional development through trainings and an annual conference, and even goes so far as to look ahead at future generations through the brain bag program in local hospitals. Their commitment to bettering our community is unmatched.

Retiring after 47 years left me with a blank slate of discretionary time. It did not take me long to connect with the Studer Community Institute and its positive staff. Brittani Hunter reached out and recruited me to volunteer with SCI and their first Leadership Symposium in 2021. What a great way to start a much needed new year! With my previous business involvement and attending the symposium as a volunteer, reinforced to me that strong leadership is positive leadership. When employees grow and flourish so does the business. We all need to inspire others more, especially in the workforce and create a work environment that is both positive and virtuous. The staff is doing a great job and both Brittani and Morgan followed up with a heart felt thank you email and note. I look forward to helping with the next symposium and encourage businesses both large and small to invest in their company and clients by providing the opportunity for their staff to attend. Leadership is important.

I've participated with this nonprofit both as a leader and a volunteer since 2016. Their commitment to leadership development in Pensacola is both inspiring and needed. Their commitment to early childhood development shows they understand building community starts with our youngest residents.
They are committed to improving both work and life on our beautiful emerald coast and also to sharing learned information with other communities worldwide.
I'm very happy to learn and work alongside this nonprofit!
