The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), in partnership with America's Promise Alliance and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has launched American Graduate: Let's Make It Happen — an initiative to help combat the dropout crisis in this country.
Local public radio and television stations, located in 20 impacted "hub markets" where the dropout crisis is most acute, are at the core of the American Graduate initiative. They will work directly with students, parents, teachers, mentors, volunteers and leaders to develop strategies tailored to local conditions to lower the dropout rate in their respective communities. Stations will create content that addresses the issue and create community-based projects that make school more personalized and relevant for students, engage parents, and develop and support effective teachers.
