The Youth Thriving Through Learning Fund fosters innovation and reimagines the learning experience for California’s diverse majority of youth while building on unprecedented state investments in public education and related systems. In recent years, California has made significant, one-time investments to support the well-being, engagement, and preparation of high school and college students, as well as to draw stronger connections to workforce and career opportunities.    

These investments provide an unprecedented opportunity to help reshape structures and practices to better support adolescents’ learning and critical thinking to foster successful transitions from high school to aspirational post-secondary experiences. Supporting coherence across statewide initiatives ― including community schools, college and career pathways, and dual enrollment – can more fully support adolescents and lay new cornerstones for sustainable changes in how systems provide youth with opportunities to learn and earn.
