Ready by 21, developed by the Forum for Youth Investment, helps mobilize communities to improve the odds for children and youth.
Leadership Network Benefits and Supports
Registered Ready by 21 leaders have access to a growing array of networks, supports and services offered for free or at discount prices. And because of the Partnership’s commitment to raise funds to support state and local capacity-building efforts that are often difficult to fund, leaders have the opportunity to apply for learning stipends, matching grants or technical assistance subsidies.
So whether you’re just getting started and using our quick self-assessment tools to guide your own learning, looking for like-minded leaders in similar communities, or positioned to create and implement a comprehensive action plan, the Ready by 21 Partnership is committed to connecting you with what you need – from presentations and publications to long-term technical assistance that helps you tackle obstacles and take advantage of opportunities.
