Joy & Justice: Reframing Advocacy for Immigrant Education

The context for educating immigrant newcomers is changing rapidly and will continue to require educators, non-profits and industry leaders, to adapt --and policy must evolve in response. This future-forward panel brings together a non-profit leader, policy advocates, and a researcher to explore how cross-sector coalitions are protecting immigrant youth while effecting systemic change. From school design to education policy, panelists will share how they work across boundaries and shift the narrative about immigrant youth to ensure they are welcomed, supported, and able to thrive in schools.

What We're Unlearning on Supporting Education Systems

The rules that have governed decades of education policy and practice are being rewritten. Advocates are adapting their strategies to play by the new rules and funders must also consider how its own rules can better meet the moment - from setting strategy or tracking impact amid rapid change to collaborating with other funders and partners through uncertainty. This meetup is a space for funders and other changemakers to discuss how philanthropy can adapt alongside advocacy partners and others to continue advancing change for all learners.
