White House's Camilla Ihenetu made comments about possible opportunities with National CARES Mentoring Movement founder and Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, Essence magazine, Susan Taylor, while at the Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, February 28, 2012.  CARES is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to recruiting and connecting mentors with local youth-serving and mentoring organizations to help guide under-resourced children to academic and social success across the country.
This discussion provides a continuation of the White House Policy in Action conference that took place in November 2011.  The focus of the discussion was about how existing federal programs and Administration priorities can be leveraged with her organization, especially as it relates to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) literacy, education and rural youth.
