Education Town Hall 

United Way Worldwide brought together thousands of thought-leaders, educators, students, partners and everyday Americans on March 31 as part of the United Way Education Town Hall, hosted by CNN's Soledad O'Brien.  The event was part of an on-going effort to both contribute to important national debates, like the future of our communities' education systems, as well as give lift to our work meeting United Way's Goals for the Common Good.

Below are links to view the Town Hall as well as information that can be leveraged to continue these important discussions in your communities.
