Current Projects
Marginalized Girls: Creating Pathways to Opportunity The specific needs of marginalized girls and young women are often not addressed effectively by the main public institutions that serve or should serve them: the juvenile justice system, the child welfare system, the education system, the health system and the public workforce system. In particular, these systems fail to recognize the distinct needs of girls and often fail to intervene effectively in the very fragile lives of girls facing multiple challenges. This policy series will consist of four or five convenings to examine the needs of marginalized girls and identify opportunities for public systems, programs and services to better meet those needs. For this project, the Center is partnering with the National Crittenton Foundation and the Rebecca Project for Human Rights.
State Workforce Policy: The Future of Policy Innovation in a Changing Environment The Center recently hosted, together with the National Skills Coalition, a roundtable considering state innovations in workforce policy and practice, assessing what is known about the effectiveness of these programs, and exploring strategies for the potential continuaton of these and other innovations in the current economic and political environment.
