As a follow-up to our Collaborative meeting, we are holding a working session on Policy & Systems Alignment on July 15th at 2 pm at Our Piece of the Pie.

Discussions will likely include:

• What we mean by “systems change”
• Our role as a change agent
• How we can best scale up and sustain best and promising practices including career pathways for Opportunity Youth, career-based contextualized learning, etc.
• How we can support a coordinated approach to serving Opportunity Youth involved in multiple systems

This is an optional meeting, but everyone is welcome to attend. If you have not done so already, please RSVP to koliver@youthreconnect.org.
