Regional Summit on Economic Mobility for Children and Youth

Join civic leaders, educators, philanthropists, and changemakers from across Greater Atlanta for powerful conversation focused on expanding opportunity for every child!

Today, only 5% of Atlanta’s children rise out of poverty. That’s not just a personal tragedy—it’s a civic emergency that impacts every member of our community. Every child left behind is a future leader, innovator, critical employee, or neighbor we’ve lost. And with each missed opportunity, Greater Atlanta edges closer to economic stagnation and deeper social division.

As an essential partner of United Way of Greater Atlanta, we seek your participation in the inaugural conversation about Eighteen Summers, a transformative initiative shaping the future of economic mobility and community impact for our children and youth.

This Summit will spotlight bold, data-driven strategies to dismantle systemic barriers and invest in early childhood education, literacy, and college and career readiness. We’re honored to welcome Dr. Raphael Bostic, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, as our keynote speaker.

Together, we’ll create a shared vision for a more equitable and thriving Greater Atlanta!
