During the Rise with Courage week of learning, celebration, and community, Jobs for Youth hosted a screening of the award-winning film Unlikely and a panel conversation with national and local changemakers in higher education. The “Equity in Higher Education: The Bay Area and Beyond” film and panel events investigated America’s college dropout crisis, highlighted innovative solutions around the country, and dug deep into what “equity” really means.
We are thrilled to share the recording of our panel conversation. View the panel by clicking the purple “Unlock for free” button at the streaming page linked below:
