Free Conference Call and Discussion

Tuesday, June 9, 2:00-3:00 PM E.T.

Join Karen Pittman for a provocative discussion with two thought leaders about some of the big readiness traps found not only in schools but most of our public systems - traps that lead to too many young people "doing their time" but leaving with gaps in their readiness for college, work or life. Karen will be interviewing Stephanie Krauss, senior fellow for the Forum for Youth Investment, and Bryan Joffe, director of education and youth development at AASA. Both Stephanie and Bryan are young changemakers who are tackling, in complementary ways, the question of what it takes to get youth development practices embedded into the DNA of schools.

Register now.
