In this month\u2019s edition of Stargazing with Stand, we\u2019re sharing volunteer opportunities and a new blog article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my previous roles, I\u2019ve partnered with young people experiencing homelessness, foster care, and the legal system. They believed in the power of education \u2013 and clear-eyed about the ways schools could push students like them out. They, along with all students, deserve access to a high-quality education and support to thrive there. Our relentless focus on impact for young people furthest from educational justice is what excites me about the work we do. We know that the work we do is vital and urgent.\u201d Learn more about Liz.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
