Economic Mobility Learning Series

Greater Houston Community Foundation invites you to join our Economic Mobility Learning Series, which are virtual presentations and discussions on models that advance economic mobility, featuring proven and emerging approaches from across the nation. Each webinar will explore real-world cross-sector efforts and research that help individuals and families move up the economic ladder.

We hope our Economic Mobility Learning Series strengthens community knowledge, inspires more partnership, and develops a shared understanding of what it may take to improve economic mobility in the Houston region.

Webinars are virtual and open to anyone interested in learning about and exploring ideas that could inform efforts to improve economic mobility in Houston, including:

  • Nonprofit, philanthropic, public sector, and civic leaders working on economic mobility or related issues.
  • Funders and donors interested in learning about evidence-informed strategies and models that advance economic mobility.
  • Researchers, practitioners, and community leaders who are curious about what’s working, and why, in other regions.
