The Power of Place: Transforming America One Block at a Time | SXSW EDU 2024

Where you grow up, within 0.6 of a mile, decides the likelihood that you'll earn more than your parents in adulthood. To find solutions to economic inequality, it is critical to understand how and why ‘place’ and economic mobility interconnect. This session will trace the evolution of the place-based cradle-to-career model and share how practices developed in Harlem and beyond are leading to scalable solutions and systems change impacting over 1 million young people. Mr. Canada will emphasize the vital role of education within the place-based field aspiring to empower and uplift youth nationwide.
