Engaged Opportunity Grants

2Gen Summer Scholars Program

Students working with local community partners to update services and policies to support both parents and children

Professionals working to support vulnerable families through community initiatives know the benefits of supporting parents and children together, but many organizations lack the time, resources and experience to engage in this two-generation (2gen) programming effectively. The new 2Gen Summer Scholars Program — part of Cornell Project 2Gen — partners students with Ithaca-area community groups, offering them the additional human capital they need to integrate a 2gen lens into their work. One summer scholar is collaborating with The William George Agency for Children’s Services to revise existing evaluation tools to take a more holistic, whole-family approach to serving youth. Another is working with My Brother’s Keeper Ithaca to conduct an in-depth review of policies related to young people of color in the greater Ithaca area.

Grant category: Student Leadership

Topics: Children, Youth, Seniors and Families
