Our research has led us to believe that educational disparities are at the root of this issue. As 2 Blocks moves into the action phase, we are (have been) convening key stakeholders to move the project forward. Collectively we agree that educating today’s youth requires a systems approach that includes education, business, government, nonprofit, community, and youth.
