In the coming months, our 2Gen Committee members will begin Family-Centered Coaching training, which is a set of strategies, tools, and resources that help human service organizations reinvent how they engage with families that are experiencing poverty. Rooted in an understanding of the institutional forces that prevent families from moving forward, Family-Centered Coaching equips staff with the mindset, tools, and skills to work with families holistically towards financial wellness. This is a six-month training process and we will highlight the outcomes of the training at next year’s summit.

In the next few weeks, we will announce the date and time of the second half of this year’s 2Gen Literacy Summit. Please look for the registration link soon! In the meantime, please enjoy recordings of the event and breakout rooms.
