About Jamil Higley
I have spent over 8 years as an independent leadership development coach at the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University, where I focused on emotional intelligence, specifically guiding young adults through the transition to college. Now, I\'ve shifted my passion for empowering young people to an earlier stage—supporting them before they even head off to college.As the Director of Community Engagement at WiddyUP, I have the privilege of championing a platform that ensures K-12 students have the resources they need to thrive. Whether it\'s raising funds for books to fill a library or uniforms for a high school band to shine at state championships, WiddyUP is revolutionizing the way schools and groups meet their fundraising goals. I’m thrilled to share the inspiring success stories of students and schools reaching new heights thanks to the power of community support.
