Student Leaders Wanted

This November OpportunityNation in partnership with TIME, the Ford Foundation, AARP and other key conveners will be hosting a national summit in New York City around the issues concerning economic mobility. OpportunityNation aims to stimulate a national dialogue about the state of opportunity in America; to develop a smart, bipartisan policy agenda, to build a large coalition to develop and support this agenda, and to host a national summit on opportunity, convening leaders from man sectors to shine a spotlight on solutions that are creating opportunity. 

OpportunityNation is seeking ~100 students (Scholars) to participate at the Summit. The Scholars will be recognized and profiled through our various media partnerships and at the Summit. They will participate in a leadership training curriculum and given access to various leaders in academia, business, entertainment and government. OpportunityNation will also provide stipends to cover expenses such as travel and lodging.

The Opportunity Scholars program is a national leadership program identifying promising young activists and entrepreneurs striving to increase opportunity in their respective communities and campuses and promote their vision of the American Dream. They are looking for nominations from Oberlin, and anyone can do so at: http://www.opportunitynation.org/pages/leaders-and-scholars. The nomination process is rolling.
