2024 Aspen ThinkXChange: The National Forum on 2Gen Approaches

The modern 2Gen field – and movement – is at an inflection point with a decade of innovations in research, practice, policy, and philanthropy. Our Ascend Network now reaches more than 15 million families, and at ThinkXChange 2024, we will dive into their front-edge solutions that are ready to be scaled. Areas of focus will range from community mental health career pathways for parents to partnerships that embed 2Gen in early childhood and postsecondary systems to new public-private partnership models serving families that are unhoused and more. Together, we’ll roll up our sleeves in plenary sessions, workshops, smaller roundtable exchanges, and networking opportunities to deepen our collective impact for family economic well-being.
