Issues We Impact

We prioritize ongoing engagement with efforts to ensure that the circumstances of our births (which no one gets to choose) don’t automatically limit the potential for our lives and our shared life together. In alignment with local partner organizations, we use the Urban Institute’s Framework for Upward Mobility as an organizing structure and common language for our work, while embracing the fundamental fact that issues like health, housing, education, and employment are deeply connected.

Much of our shared work lives in and across student-led Issue Teams. Click on each to learn more about their student leaders, the indicators they’re working to move, and the partner organizations they’re working with to do it.
