Every year, the Ready by 21 National Meeting brings together hundreds of leaders from around the country who are working to get all young people ready by 21 – for college, work, and life. These leaders have dedicated themselves to improving the odds for children and youth by improving & aligning policies, planning & partnering for impact, and strengthening practices & programs.

In May 2021 over 450 people from around the country convened virtually to join plenary sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities. Participants had the opportunity to see and hear about standards, solutions, measures of success, and case studies from state and local partnerships; refine the way they think and talk about their own work and network through engagement with leaders from across the country; and find new ways to act and coordinate in response to the toughest challenges.

The recordings and resources from the two days of convenings are now available.
