A recent study indicated that students, on average, could experience up to five to nine months of unfinished learning by the end of June 2021. This will be especially true for students of color who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

"They are not the future leaders of tomorrow but rather the powerful leaders we need today. We have to rally together -- students, teachers, community organizers, philanthropic partners, all of us -- to rebuild and reimagine our schools and communities. Only then can we collectively heal and thrive."
