Opportunity to Build on Opportunity Nation

From Tow Foundation web

I just heard that Opportunity Nation is going to have at least two sessions focused on "disconnected youth" at the September 19th Summit.

For the panel discussing how employers can be involved in ensuring our young people have a path into the labor market, ON has recruited Angela Cobb from New Options, Gail Gershon from Gap Inc., a representative from CGI and a Year Up alum.

On the discussion on how the collective impact process can be applied to the challenges facing our young people, Steve Patrick from the Gates Foundation, Yazeed Moore, from the Mott Foundation will be joined by Shelley Waters Boots from the New America Foundation and Fay Hanleybrown from FSG.  Emily Tow Jackson from the Tow Foundation will be there as well to provide insights from a regional foundation.

This is a great opportunity for all of us to write letters to our editors about opportunity and mobility!
