COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS

The White House says first lady Jill Biden will host a roundtable Monday on breast and cervical cancer.

The debate over school safety has reignited talks on everything from bulletproof shields to more funding for mental health services.

The donation was made to National 4-H Council, a Maryland-based organization that supports a U.S. government-backed youth program. Earlier this month, Communities in Schools, which provides services in schools in low-income neighborhoods, said it received a $133.5 million contribution from Scott. Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights, The National Council on Aging and other nonprofits have also announced smaller-sized donations. The National 4-H Council, which supports The Department of Agriculture’s 4-H Youth Development Program, said in a statement that Scott’s gift will support “positive youth development" for nearly six million kids and their families. 4-H programs help kids and teens across the country complete health, science and other projects during after-school programs and other venues.

MacKenzie Scott’s $50 million gift to the National 4-H Council, which the youth-focused nonprofit called “transformational,” is part of a new patch of the philanthropist’s donations now coming to light.

The biggest new gift from Scott that has been disclosed was $133.5 million for Communities in Schools, which provides services in schools in low-income neighborhoods. They wanted to learn more about Young People in Recovery, which had a $2.5 million budget before the $3 million gift from Scott. Communities in Schools, which received $133.5 million from Scott, provides services in schools in low-income neighborhoods. Rey Saldaña, CEO, said the group chose to publicize their $133.5 million gift because it validated its work and showed there’s more to be done. With Scott’s gift, the largest the group has ever received, Saldaña said, the organization plans to serve more students and start an endowment.

MacKenzie Scott, who has given at least $8 billion in the past two years to mostly small nonprofits that serve people in need, used to release posts on Medium about her gifts and who got them.

In this installment, CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford introduces us "Communities in Schools," a non-profit working to support struggling students nationwide, and a Syrian middle school graduate whose life was turned into a portrait. Shams Alkhouli graduated from Gunston Middle School this year but the milestone is just one chapter in his long international journey. After adjusting to life at the northern Virginia middle school, Alkhouli was accepted into Communities in Schools' "What We Are Made Of" program. As he heads into high school, Alkhouli said that he hopes the program will help others find their voice. "Some kids might really get bullied just because they speak a different language or they practice a different religion," he said.
