October 28-30, 2024 — Measure of America’s Kristen Lewis and Alex Powers presented at the Aspen Institute’s Opportunity Youth Forum convening. One session, presented in partnership with Newark Opportunity Youth Network, focused on how the human development approach is a powerful tool for understanding youth well-being and access to opportunity, with a specific focus on the work we partnered on in Newark. We discussed the results of our research as well as its implications for the broader ecosystem of service providers, philanthropists, educators, advocates, and policymakers in Newark. The second Measure of America OYF session focused on our latest national-level work on youth disconnection.
