As part of the American Graduate Initiative, KQED will serve as a community convener and will work with local media, education, community, civic, corporate and other relevant organizations, to create a better understanding of the community impact of the dropout crisis in the Bay Area with a focus on Oakland and implement effective plans to positively impact the situation.
KQED made a recent visit to the Junior Statesman of America Regional Conference in San Jose, CA. Learn more about Junior Statement America.

About American Graduate
American Graduate is a public media initiative funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to help local communities across America find solutions to address the dropout crisis. The initiative builds on public media’s long-standing commitment to education by convening conversations and strengthening partnerships between public radio and television stations and local schools, businesses and community organizations to help students stay on the path to a high school diploma.
