The Promise of Meaning-Based Interventions and Opportunities for Philanthropy

Join Grantmakers for Thriving Youth and Arnold Chandler, president of Forward Change, to learn about how meaning-based interventions alter how young people make sense of themselves and their social situations. Chandler’s findings reveal that these interventions, especially when applied in early adolescence, have significantly narrowed racial gaps in key outcomes such as behavioral challenges, grades and college enrollment. You'll leave the conversation with new knowledge about the power of meaning-based interventions and ideas for how to leverage philanthropic investments to realize their potential.
