Overview
The John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities at Stanford University collaborates with education practitioners and community-based organizations to conduct research, promote evidence-based practice, and inform education and youth development stakeholders. This grant supports the convening of 15 schools in six school districts to document exemplary practice in serving at-risk youth and promote organizational learning in schools that enroll youth at risk of failing to graduate. By building the capacity of schools, districts, and community-based organizations to become learning organizations, the Center enables educators to articulate and achieve powerful outcomes for underserved youth.
