As a partner of Ascend’s Black and Native Family Futures Fund, Grambling State University will reopen their campus child development center, which closed in 2009 due to lack of sufficient funding. Taking a strong two-generation (2Gen) approach, the university will provide early literacy and developmentally appropriate science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) curriculum to children enrolled in the center, while also providing      wrap-around support services to their parents who are enrolled at the university.
