Our organization has conducted one of the nation's longest and most in-depth studies, measuring the attitudes and behaviors among disproportionately affected students concerning education and its impact on their future financial and overall well-being. Our strategic advantage (and immeasurable value) is the fact that we are still in the classroom on a weekly basis, enabling us to share direct, real-time findings from the students themselves. We have conducted this workshop in districts throughout the country and continue to do so.
