ACCELERATING OUTCOMES
FOR RURAL YOUTH
FROM CRADLE TO CAREER
HOW WE WORK
- We increase access to high-quality programs and supports to improve outcomes for children and youth in rural America
- We strengthen civic infrastructure in rural places so that residents and local organizations have the systems and structures to come together to move outcomes
- We drive resources and investment in rural communities by convening rural stakeholders to shape a shared narrative and advocating for policy changes at the state and federal levels
