This Holiday Season, Give Your Child the Gift That Keeps Giving: The Power of Social Capital
For too long, social capital literacy—the understanding of connections to key individuals, organizations, and institutions that create opportunities—has been overlooked by systems meant to support families and communities. Schools spend $7 billion annually measuring what students know, but not a dime measuring who they know. Meanwhile, 50% of college graduates are working in jobs that don’t require a degree, with even worse rates for Black graduates.
We can’t afford to wait for these systems to act. Recent attacks on affirmative action and diversity threaten to dismantle pathways to opportunity for millions. The time for change is now.
That’s why I’m inviting YOU to join the free Social Capital Smart Parent Masterclass—a transformative experience designed to help parents, families, and communities unlock the power of social capital for the next generation. Teach your child to be their own affirmative action.
