-: I think I love that it's really complex.
It really involves trying to dive in deep
into a systems and policy problem.
There's no easy solutions
and in fact if you think you know what the problem is
you need to dig deeper
because you probably only hit the surface
and ultimately a lot of the challenges
that face our students come down to the,
well, the communities and also to the systems
that are supporting youth
but there are people behind those systems.
So it's not just, you know
a policy that's affecting something,
it's the people that are implementing that policy
and so I think what I love about this work
is that you can't just, you know,
pass a piece of legislation and expect that everything
is going to magically improve.
You really have to work hand in hand
with people on the ground to transform their mindsets
and their behaviors and their ideas
about how the system should work
in order to improve outcomes for students.
