Ford is also starting Thirty Under 30, in which 30 U.S. employees under the age of 30 will be selected for a yearlong course to learn civic engagement and leadership skills with a focus on philanthropy and volunteerism. The program will also pair employees with nonprofits so both Ford and charitable organizations can learn from younger generations.

Shares of eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY), inclined 1.47% to $26.87, during its last trading session.
eBay and Marie Kondo, the best-selling author of “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” release an exclusive guide that makes de-cluttering an easy and enjoyable experience for parents and children. With inspiring illustrations and never-before-seen tips, the guide features downloadable “KonMari for Kids” flashcards – offering new ways for families to ready their homes and cash in on unused items, just in time for the back to school season.
eBay’s partnership with Ms. Kondo comes at a pivotal point in the year, when many parents want to earn extra money by selling items from their homes and then use that cash to cover the cost of back to school essentials. Ms. Kondo’s latest work applies her famous systematic approach to de-cluttering and distills the information into tailored, timely tips that encourage the entire family to get involved. The guide is available exclusively on the “People Want What You Got” section of eBay’s website at ebay.com/sellitnow, and will serve as an ongoing resource for parents.
“The KonMari Method focuses on determining which items in your life ‘spark joy,’” said Ms. Kondo. “Whether it’s a sweater with the tags still attached or a designer purse hanging in your closet, there is a reason these things aren’t used more often – my recommendation is to get rid of them. Since clothing, handbags and shoes are bestsellers on eBay, you may choose to sell some of the fashion items that aren’t bringing you joy.”
eBay Inc. operates as a technology company that enables commerce and payments on behalf of users, merchants, retailers, and brands of various sizes in the United States and internationally. It operates in three segments: Marketplaces, Payments, and Enterprise.
