Prudential Financial names Spirit of Community Class of 2021, celebrating young volunteers for tackling the challenges of a changing world

NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Prudential Financial today announced its 2021 class of Spirit of Community Awards State Honorees — 102 middle level and high school students from across the United States whose volunteering has addressed…

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, conducted annually by Prudential in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), honors students in grades 5-12 for making meaningful contributions to their communities through volunteer service.

«We created the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards 26 years ago to highlight and support the work of young people taking on the challenges of a changing world – a mission that rings truer than ever given the events of last year,» said Charles Lowrey, Prudential’s chairman and CEO. «We are proud to celebrate the vision and determination of Spirit of Community’s Class of 2021, and all the ways they’re making their communities safer, healthier and more equitable places to live.»

The 2021 State Honorees – the top middle level and high school volunteers from all 50 states and the District of Columbia – were selected for service initiatives completed, at least in part, between the fall of 2019 and the fall of 2020. Selection was based on criteria including impact, effort, initiative and the personal growth demonstrated over the course of the project.

Many of this year’s honorees either directly addressed needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic or adapted existing projects to better accommodate health and safety protocols. Many honorees worked to provide reliable meals to food-insecure households and dismantle barriers to virtual schooling. In the early days of the pandemic, when personal protective equipment was in short supply, one honoree rallied his community to 3D-print thousands of face shields for frontline workers. Several honorees dedicated their efforts to easing the hardship of isolation for nursing home residents. Another created a support network for students of color to share their own experiences in light of the Black Lives Matter movement.

«It speaks volumes about the character of today’s secondary school students that the Spirit of Community program heard from more than 20,000 applicants this fall – most of them stories of young volunteers overcoming the hardships of a global pandemic to support those in need,» said Ronn Nozoe, Chief Executive Officer, NASSP. «While we’re especially proud to celebrate this year’s 102 State Honorees, NASSP applauds every student who’s found a way to volunteer this past year. You inspire your peers and adults alike to remember that, even in times of crisis, we all have something to give.»

Each of the 102 State Honorees named today will receive a $2,500 scholarship, a silver medallion and an invitation to the program’s virtual national recognition celebration in April, where 10 of them will be named America’s top youth volunteers of the year. Those 10 National Honorees will earn an additional $5,000 scholarship, a gold medallion, a crystal trophy for their nominating organization and a $5,000 grant for a nonprofit charitable organization of their choice.

Prudential Financial anuncia la Clase 2021 de su Premio al Espíritu Comunitario, que brinda reconocimiento a jóvenes voluntarios por sortear los desafíos de un mundo cambiante

NEWARK, Nueva Jersey, 9 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Prudential Financial anunció hoy su Clase 2021 de jóvenes galardonados por el Premio Estatal Espíritu Comunitario, Spirit of Community Awards State Honorees, 102 estudiantes de nivel medio y secundario provenientes de todo el país, cuyas actividades de voluntariado abordaron necesidades comunitarias apremiantes en el contexto de un año turbulento.

El Premio Prudential al Espíritu Comunitario, llevado a cabo anualmente por Prudential en alianza con la Asociación Nacional de Directores de Escuelas Secundarias (NASSP), brinda un reconocimiento a los estudiantes de grados 5-12 por realizar contribuciones significativas a sus comunidades por medio de trabajo voluntario.

«Creamos el Premio Prudential al Espíritu Comunitario hace 26 años con el fin de destacar y apoyar el trabajo de los jóvenes que asuman los desafíos de un mundo cambiante, misión que hoy resuena más fuerte que nunca, dado el contexto del año pasado», señaló Charles Lowrey, director ejecutivo y presidente de Prudential. «Nos enorgullece celebrar la visión y determinación de la Clase 2021 de Espíritu Comunitario y de todas las maneras en que están haciendo que sus comunidades sean lugares más seguros, saludables e igualitarios para vivir».

Los Homenajeados Estatales de 2021, voluntarios de nivel medio superior y de escuela secundaria de los 50 estados y el distrito de Columbia, fueron seleccionados por iniciativas de servicio completadas, al menos parcialmente, entre el otoño de 2019 y el otoño de 2020. La selección se basó en criterios que incluyen el impacto, el esfuerzo, la iniciativa y el crecimiento personal demostrado durante el curso del proyecto.

Muchos de los homenajeados de este año abordaron directamente necesidades que surgieron de la pandemia del COVID-19, o bien adaptaron proyectos existentes para mejorar los protocolos de salud y seguridad. Muchos jóvenes homenajeados trabajaron para proveer comidas de buena calidad a hogares con problemas de inseguridad alimentaria, y para eliminar dificultades de la escolarización virtual. En los inicios de la pandemia, cuando había poca disponibilidad de insumos de protección personal, uno de los homenajeados movilizó a su comunidad para crear miles de escudos faciales con impresoras 3D para los trabajadores de la primera línea. Muchos homenajeados dedicaron sus esfuerzos a aliviar las dificultades que sufrían los residentes de hogares de ancianos producto del aislamiento. Otro joven formó una red de apoyo para que los estudiantes de color compartieran sus experiencias personales en lo referente al movimiento Black Lives Matter.

«Esto dice mucho acerca del carácter de los estudiantes de secundaria de hoy en día, algo que el programa Espíritu Comunitario pudo ver este otoño en más de 20,000 postulantes. La mayoría fueron historias de jóvenes voluntarios que pudieron superar las dificultades de una pandemia global para apoyar a aquellos que lo necesitaban», comentó Ronn Nozoe, director ejecutivo de NASSP. «A la vez que estamos especialmente orgullosos de celebrar a los 102 Homenajeados Estatales de este año, la NASSP felicita a cada estudiante que encontró la manera de servir como voluntario el año pasado. Ustedes inspiran de igual forma a sus pares y a los adultos a recordar que, incluso en tiempos de crisis, todos tenemos algo que aportar».

Cada uno de los 102 Homenajeados Estatales nombrados hoy recibirá una beca de $2,500, un medallón de plata y una invitación a la celebración virtual de reconocimiento nacional del programa, que tendrá lugar en abril, y en la que 10 de ellos serán nombrados los mejores jóvenes voluntarios de Estados Unidos del año. Dichos 10 Homenajeados Nacionales recibirán una beca adicional de $5,000, un medallón de oro, un trofeo de cristal para su organización nominadora y una subvención de $5,000 para una organización benéfica sin fines de lucro de su elección.

Finalists Selected for $10 Million Climate Challenge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Lever for Change announced five finalists for the 2030 Climate Challenge, a $10 million award launched last year to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the buildings, industry, and/or transportation sectors in the U.S. by 2030. The Challenge, sponsored by an anonymous donor, will fund proven, data-driven solutions ready to serve as a model for change in communities across the country.

The U.S. currently has the second highest amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Three-quarters of these emissions derive mainly from four energy sectors: electricity, transportation, buildings, and industry. As the U.S. makes progress in decarbonizing the electricity sector, the other three key sectors—transportation, buildings, and industry—currently account for more than half of the national greenhouse gas emissions.

«While the world is rolling out a rapid response to the coronavirus pandemic, there is no vaccine for climate change,» said Cecilia Conrad, CEO of Lever for Change. «The global nature of this threat requires a similar sense of urgency and commitment to significantly reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. The solutions proposed by the finalists for the 2030 Climate Challenge are a promising start.»

The five finalist projects are:

Building with Biomass: Using Buildings to Sequester Carbon at Gigaton-Scale: The Carbon Leadership Forum at the University of Washington, in partnership with Endeavour Center, University of Colorado Boulder, and Building Transparency, proposes to convert buildings to carbon sinks by storing carbon in buildings using biogenic materials and reducing carbon emissions in all other building materials.
Decarbonizing U.S. Industry with Renewable Thermal Energy: World Wildlife Fund, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, and David Gardiner and Associates will harness collective corporate demand through the Renewable Thermal Collaborative to drive investments in technology, markets, and policy to double industrial renewable thermal energy by 2025 and triple it by 2030, slashing industrial thermal emissions by 30% over the decade.
First Statewide Virtual Power Plant: Equitable Transition to Clean Energy: Solar United Neighbors, in partnership with Liberty Homes, Clean Energy Works, National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Resource Media proposes to push the pedal to the floor on an inclusive financing tool that enables home energy upgrades to reach mass scale by assuring all households can participate regardless of their income, credit score, or renter status. It will create the first demonstration for the nation of full statewide residential sector decarbonization and creation of a statewide virtual power plant—all through equitable energy transition.
Scale Zero: Healthy, Zero-Emission, Affordable Housing for All: RMI, in partnership with Emerald Cities Collaborative, NYCEEC, Association for Energy Affordability, and Enterprise Community Partners, will decarbonize the nation’s building sector through a two-pronged campaign focused on policy and retrofits of multifamily, affordable housing in five states.
Turning Point: Driving Southeast Transportation Electrification: The World Resources Institute, Electrification Coalition, EVHybridNoire, and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy will drive Southeast transportation electrification, increasing Electric Vehicle market share to 50% and reducing transportation emissions by 50 million tons per annum by 2030.

Lever for Change is featuring the finalists for the 2030 Climate Challenge in its Bold Solutions Network. This Network seeks to match outstanding nonprofits and social enterprises from Lever for Change competitions with additional donors and funding.

Sixty-eight proposals were evaluated during a three-month process that included peer reviews, as well as a final review by an expert panel of more than 45 philanthropic and civic leaders, and climate experts. Applications were evaluated based on four criteria: whether they were impactful, feasible, scalable, and durable.

Over the next three months, the finalists will work with a team of technical experts to strengthen, revise, and re-submit their proposed solutions for the $10 million award.

A final grant recipient will be announced in the summer of 2021.

Donors interested in supporting 2030 Climate Challenge finalists projects may contact Dana Rice, Vice President of Philanthropy at Lever for Change.

More information on the 2030 Climate Challenge can be found at www.2030climatechallenge.org.

Lever for Change
Lever for Change, a nonprofit affiliate of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, helps donors to find and fund solutions to the world’s greatest challenges, ranging from racial and gender equity to economic development and climate change. Building on the success of the MacArthur Foundation’s $100 million competition, 100&Change, Lever for Change customizes and manages open and transparent competitions for donors. In addition, we match donors with nonprofits and social enterprises in our Bold Solutions Network whose solutions to significant social challenges were highly ranked after rigorous evaluation in one of our competitions. Currently, Lever for Change is managing nine competitions, ranging in size from $10-to-100 million, awarding $295 million to grant recipients and strengthening dozens of top organizations.

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and Aeroterm To Develop Multitenant Cargo Facility

MANCHESTER, N.H., Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MANCHESTER-BOSTON REGIONAL AIRPORT («MHT») and Aeroterm have announced that they have entered into a ground lease to develop a multitenant cargo facility at the Airport over the next three years.

<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1434128/MHT_logo_stacked_color_rgb.html"…

The new building will provide a convenient access point for cargo companies to reach all areas in Northern New England as well as northern Massachusetts and the Greater Boston Area. Aeroterm, MHT’s partner in the project, is an expert in facility-related services to airports across North America and has a reputation for understanding the air cargo market and building efficient cargo facilities.

«We are excited about the potential this facility will add to our cargo handling capabilities,» said Airport Director Ted Kitchens, A. A. E. «With close to four million additional square feet of distribution centers planned within 20 miles of MHT, this cargo facility will allow Manchester-Boston Regional Airport to leverage our all-weather runway approach capabilities to efficiently move e-commerce to the five million customers that live within two hours of our Airport.»

Kitchens said that MHT has had two back-to-back record-breaking years of cargo volumes and hopes to increase this even more through the partnership with Aeroterm.

«Coming off two record-high years for cargo, this new facility will help propel the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport towards even more record-breaking growth in cargo activity,» added Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig. «This partnership has the ability to be a significant revenue source for MHT, further lower airline operating costs and strengthen the position of the Airport within the region.»

The ground lease can support up to a 100,000 square foot building and three widebody aircraft parking positions. The facility will be located just off the 9,250-foot primary runway for easy access. The Airport is conveniently located next to Interstates 93 and 293, the F.E. Everett Turnpike and Routes 101 and 3, creating a great opportunity for transportation of cargo to the surrounding area.

«We are proud to take part in this very exciting project,» said Alexi Lachambre, Vice President of Investments for Aeroterm. «MHT’s leaders have proven to be dynamic and visionary partners, keen to capitalize on the surge of e-commerce and create economic opportunity for their broader community. Demand for air cargo, primarily due to e-commerce, is continuing to grow at a staggering pace. Given the level of congestion in the regional distribution network, we expect the project with MHT’s world-class infrastructure will garner the interest of major logistics players.»

Besides being a valuable economic boost for MHT and the surrounding community, the new cargo facility will benefit its tenants through various New Hampshire tax advantages.

«Companies that operate at the Airport not only enjoy the New Hampshire Advantage of low corporate tax rates and no state sales taxes but can also take advantage of MHT being located inside Foreign Trade Zone 81, which provides duty-free imports for companies located at the Airport,» said NH Department of Business and Economic Affairs Commissioner Taylor Caswell. «The combination of these economic benefits, as well as close proximity to a robust highway network, provides a powerful and compelling reason for businesses to Choose NH.»

The project will also have a positive economic impact on the surrounding community through the creation of additional employment opportunities in order to build and operate the new facility.

«This is exciting news for the Town of Londonderry and the Greater Manchester region,» said Kevin Smith, Town Manager of Londonderry, NH. «The proposed development will not only create construction jobs but also create additional employment opportunities when the facility is open and operational. This facility will help strengthen the economic impact the Airport has on the region and will result in additional economic output throughout Southern New Hampshire.»

ABOUT MANCHESTER–BOSTON REGIONAL AIRPORT
Strategically situated in the heart of New England, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is located less than fifty miles north of Boston, Massachusetts, and less than an hour’s drive from the region’s most popular ski areas, scenic seacoast beaches and peaceful lakefront resorts.
