Overview
Our U.S. programs aim to improve well-being and advance equity for all Americans by focusing on areas with the potential to transform lives and communities for the better: health, education and employment. In collaboration with government agencies, foundations, corporations and community organizations, we design, deliver and evaluate solutions that address the nation’s most pressing challenges. Our work includes:
- Health programs that employ our social marketing and communications expertise to promote behaviors, services and policies that support healthy communities.
- Education programs that help school systems, state agencies and community organizations improve learning and wellbeing for all students so they can succeed in school, work, and life.
- Economic opportunity programs — including workforce development, apprenticeships and post-incarceration support — that ensure people can build thriving livelihoods.
- International exchange programs that connect students, scholars and civil society leaders so that vital knowledge transcends national borders.
Together, we’re working toward a future where everyone can lead full and healthy lives.
