In today's episode, Children Rising's Margena Wade and Eric Steckel discuss the role tutors play in a child's development during the foundational years of Elementary School, and why investing in students impacts them for rest of their lives.

The community of Oakland, California is being changed one tutoring session at a time. Let's stop the school to prison pipeline by supporting organizations like Children Rising. By supporting this organization, you are also helping to break cycles of poverty and reduce a child's vulnerabilities to being trafficked.
