Dropping in After Dropping Out: Giving Students Another Chance

Is it time to rethink how we do school? In 2022, over 2 million
students between the ages of 16 and 24 left school without
earning a high school diploma or GED. But what if we could change
that by taking an innovative approach to education? In part three
of our three-part series about helping young people thrive
economically within safe communities, Allison Gerber (The Annie
E. Casey Foundation) and Betsy Delgado (Goodwill Excel Center)
join us for a conversation about how education doesn't have to be
one-size-fits-all. Together, they’ll provide a look at the unique
journeys of many students today and the tools they need to
continue their education and thrive. Driving home the point that
investing in student success matters for all of us, they show us
the importance of alternative learning models.
