In-person event open to Harvard University ID holders. Virtual event open to all. 

How can cities break the cycle of poverty and expand opportunity for every child and family? Join a conversation about how local governments, in collaboration with schools, nonprofits, and community partners, are reimagining systems to promote economic mobility and educational success. Drawing from emerging models, the conversation will highlight how the cities of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Orlando, Florida, in collaboration with community-based partners, are confronting intergenerational poverty, transforming neighborhoods, and driving cradle-to-career place-based efforts through coordinated systems of supports, opportunities, and data-informed decision-making. We will feature the transformative work of the City of Orlando’s Orlando Kidz Zones, the City of Tulsa’s Office of Children, Youth and Families, and ImpactTulsa.

Co-sponsored by the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University and The EdRedesign Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Lunch will be provided at 11:45 a.m. for in-person attendees. Program begins at noon.
