The Hive Research Lab released Brokering Youth Pathways: A Toolkit for Connecting Youth to Future Opportunity. The result of two years of collaborative research and design with Hive NYC leadership and members, and with support from the Spencer Foundation, Brokering Youth Pathways was created to share tools and techniques around the youth development practice of “brokering”, or connecting youth to future learning opportunities and resources.

The #DegreesNYC Blueprint for Collective Action on Postsecondary Access and Success in New York City is now available including an Executive Summary and full-report. Building off of a multi-year collaborative process, #DegreesNYC created this blueprint to outline the challenges related to postsecondary access and completion in New York City that they heard from practitioners, students, and the broader community, and opportunities for cross-sector, system-wide change. The blueprint is organized into four categories - affordability, institutional policies, data and accountability, and support and accessibility for all - and includes recommendations on how to move New York City towards equity in postsecondary readiness, persistence, and success.
