A National Movement
with Real Impact
We’re not just envisioning change. We’re actively addressing the challenges and building solutions. The decade from high school to early adulthood, what we call The Launchpad Decade, represents a critical window for economic mobility. Today’s young people navigate this transition amid three converging pressures: the affordability challenge of education on top of being family earners, the anxiety around unprecedented economic uncertainty, and the impact of AI reshaping entry-level labor markets.
These “Three A’s” demand a coordinated systemic response. That’s why we’re taking action. From classrooms to boardrooms, we’re building new systems and pathways that work for students, employers, and communities.
