Employee Benefits
Transforming the Landscape of Leadership
Our community of leaders embrace an ambitious and abundant mindset. Across all sectors, we come together under one north star of intergenerational family prosperity and well-being.
The 2Gen Approach
Two-generation (2Gen) approaches build family well-being by intentionally and simultaneously working with children and the adults in their lives together. 2Gen approaches center the whole family to create a legacy of educational success and economic prosperity that passes from one generation to the next.
Ascend Network
A community of more than 500 organizations from across the US and beyond that uses 2Gen approaches in their work so that children and families can reach their full potential. The Ascend Network connects leaders to build relationships, spark connections, and co-create innovative solutions that improve outcomes for families.
Policy and Systems Change
Over the past five years, Ascend has partnered with, learned from, and provided extensive technical assistance to state efforts in Colorado, Tennessee, Connecticut, Utah, Washington, Maryland, and Hawaii. To date, at least 34 states and Guam are implementing or have indicated a strong interest in integrating 2Gen.
Postsecondary Success for Parents
Raises awareness of and shares recommendations to better support the one in five students enrolled in college who are parents. We work with systems, institutions, and students who are parents to ensure families have access to the resources necessary to achieve their educational goals.
