In this breakout, you are invited to discuss strategies for supporting traditionally underserved youth, low-income and adult learners with Betsy Brand, Executive Director, American Youth Policy Forum (AYPF) and Anna Cielinski, Senior Policy Analyst, Center for Postsecondary and Economic Success, Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP).
The mission of AYPF is to educate, engage, and inform policymakers and practitioners about education, youth, and workforce policies to improve the lives and outcomes of traditionally underserved youth. AYPF carries out this mission by providing research-based information and resources, first-hand learning experiences, convenings, and peer-to-peer networking exchanges to policymakers and youth-serving leaders at the national, state, and local levels.
CLASP is a national, nonpartisan, anti-poverty nonprofit advancing policy solutions for low-income people. CLASP works to develop and implement federal, state, and local policies (in legislation, regulation, and on the ground) that reduce poverty, improve low-income people’s lives, and creates pathways to economic security for everyone. That includes directly addressing the barriers people face because of race, ethnicity, and immigration status.
