Close Up - Washington D.C. Educational Programs

Last week, the NextGen Roundtable: DC Youth Summit gathered students from public, charter, and private schools across the region to share insight and search for solutions regarding affordability, taxes, housing, and AI.

Students were introduced to policy and community leaders during the expert economic issues panel before reflecting on actionable steps they can take on issues facing communities across the nation's capitol.
