In a new op-ed for The @hechingerreport, Andrew Wilkes (@gencitizen) & Rashid Duroseau (@DemocracyPrep) reflect on findings from our 2024 State of Young People report, which show that Black youth are more likely than their peers to be civically engaged:

"The Alliance community has equipped me with new ways of thinking about scale and the critical milestones to reach it. I am grateful for a space where I can wrestle with challenging change management issues in an affirming and vulnerable way." - Lin Johnson III, @TNTP

"APA accelerated the development of our technology roadmap by allowing us to connect with peer organizations leading the way in hybrid advising." -Bryan Contreras, Managing Director, Program, Partnerships and Growth, @MatriculateOrg
