ABOUT A CITY AT HOPE

In 2019, the Aspen Institute released ‘A Nation at Hope,’ a report about integrating social emotional learning into general education for young people. Inspired by the Aspen Institute, the Urban Assembly and ExpandED convened A City at Hope, gathering leaders from youth-serving institutions in NYC to activate and implement A Nation at Hope's recommendations citywide. Now approaching the six-month mark of this innovative initiative, A City at Hope released their Interim Report on the ways in which they are advancing SEL for young people in NYC.
