Economic Opportunities for Promising Futures
A conversation about how family economic well-being keeps our children safe and our communities thriving.
8:30 - 9:30 a.m.
We have been taught that if you work hard, you’ll be successful. And if you raise your children well, they’ll be better off than you. But what if you already work a full-time job and still make less than a living wage? What if simply keeping a roof over your head takes up the lion’s share of your pay, leaving you to scramble for life’s other necessities? These are some of the real challenges that families face. And they can have serious effects, with studies showing that children in low-income families are at greater risk of abuse and neglect. This conversation explores how we can all contribute to childhood well-being, and to a promising future, by supporting economic opportunities in Georgia.
