In partnership with the Aspen Institute and United Way Worldwide, we will share data to help participants understand both the issues and the impact; invite experts and local United Ways to talk about what’s working; and explore 2Gen approaches that help low-income children and families.  

By definition, two-generation (2Gen) approaches build family well-being by intentionally and simultaneously working with children, families and caregivers.  While there are many factors that shape children’s well-being, family economic security is an essential lever in achieving better outcomes for children. And access to a quality education is not only a powerful driver for economic mobility but also a predictor of children’s educational and economic outcomes. By elevating and investing in 2Gen approaches, communities are creating an intergenerational cycle of opportunity and helping to move low-income children and their families to brighter futures. United Ways are well-positioned to advance 2Gen strategies, particularly those working across sectors to implement strategies and programs that intersect education, economic mobility and health.

Presenters: Camille M. Busette, Ph.D., Brookings Institution; Ayeola Fortune, United Way Worldwide; and Ralph Smith, Campaign for Grade-Level Reading.

Commentators: Becca Bice, United Way for Greater Austin; and Amy Weber, United Way of Greater Cincinnati.

Moderator: Marjorie Sims, Ascend at the Aspen Institute.

The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading is reviewing how AI can be leveraged to support families’ efficacy as they work toward creating ideal learning environments for their children on Wednesday, July 19th. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an emerging “bright spot” and can be a powerful resource that can be leveraged to enhance “human intelligence, human potential and human purpose” according to educator Sal Khan, founder of the Khan Academy. Isabelle Hau, Ph.D., Executive Director of Stanford Accelerator for Learning at Stanford University, will moderate a conversation about how AI can be utilized to support families, exploring innovative new models that are being used to equip and empower parents to succeed in their role as their child’s first and most important teacher. Panelists will share information about their work in AI and how it is supporting education and learning.
