Virtual Youth Town Hall on the Return to School

Schools and districts across the country are taking a wide range of approaches to the return to school—from starting the year virtually to beginning entirely in person. Regardless of the form that the return to school takes, the perspectives and experiences of young people can inform school, district, and community leaders’ approach to the return to school and decisions throughout this year and beyond. 

In this youth town hall hosted by America’s Promise Alliance and The 74, middle and high school students from around the country will discuss considerations for reopening, whether or not they feel safe, ways that schools can provide meaningful learning in this context, and how schools can engage youth in decision-making as we begin the new school year. Youth panelists will also share their insights and advice for school leaders on how schools should provide opportunities to talk and learn about race and racism.

Join Wednesday, August 26 at 12:00 PM MST for this important and timely discussion. Register here!
