The newest research cohort is in full swing. Twelve socially conscious, high achieving high school students started their 12-week fellowship on June 8th. The Summer Research Cohort will spend the next three months examining the struggles and hardships that low-income American families face and how education inequalities, underemployment, inconsistent health benefits, and institutional prejudices prevent individuals from escaping poverty’s grip.
"Change begins with research and good conversation."
The Summer Research Cohort has brought together high school students from California, Georgia and New Jersey with interests that range from coding to sports to medicine. Get to know our newest research associates.
