We are committed to ensuring all youth across the Greater Washington region complete high school ready for career and post-secondary education or training.
This includes increasing the four-year high school graduation rate for all students, increasing competency in math and English language arts, and having meaningful work experiences while still in school. This outcome helps determine a young person’s successful transition to adulthood and a happy, healthy, thriving life.
Our Capital Kids Report estimated that approximately 200,000 youth, ages 0–24, are experiencing disconnection from formal academic instruction or the workforce, reflecting an estimated 25% increase over pre-pandemic numbers.
