Announcing the Isabel Mendes Blake Civic Engagement Award

Isabel Mendes Blake was a vigilant advocate for equity in education. She actively engaged members of her community and lawmakers to ensure children of color had a quality education. Mrs. Blake encouraged parents from the Northend of Hartford to become civically involved to support the changes they wanted to see. This Civic Engagement Scholarship was established to continue Mrs. Blake’s legacy of education, community service, entrepreneurship, and empowerment through scholarship to youth from Greater Hartford communities.
