“Chicago has made meaningful progress in expanding opportunity for young people…”

That’s the starting point.

At our Fuel the Future Champion Breakfast, this reflection from Dom McKoy grounded the conversation in both progress and truth, while systems have improved, not all students, particularly boys of color, have experienced those gains in the same way.

That reality is what drives our work.

Because closing that gap isn’t about one moment, it’s about sustained investment, earlier intervention, and a commitment to ensuring every young person has access to the opportunities they deserve.
