Preparing today’s students to ease tomorrow’s political polarization

The Challenge

Polarization has scarred the country and complicated our daily lives. Many of us feel estranged from those across the political or ideological divide. It’s tough to make progress toward solving our shared challenges.

The Solution

Today’s students deserve to learn the skills they will need to reach across the divide. This learning begins with the adults in their lives, who must themselves discover how to model bridge-building behavior.
