Approach
Problem
Robin Hood invests in innovative solutions to empower New Yorkers, training caregivers in early childhood development, supporting K-12 students and families through community schools, and investing in college success programs. Balancing innovation, research, and community input, Robin Hood aims to provide access to high-quality education, paving the way for New Yorkers to succeed.
Education is a key determinant of economic mobility. From a baby’s exposure to vocabulary to honing skills in a high-growth sector, learning opportunities are critical to escaping poverty. While access to schools and programs in New York City has improved, quality still lags, holding back generations from upward economic mobility.
