NCAP - Understanding the Upward Mobility Framework - Part I
Discover how the Upward Mobility Framework can help your agency and partners to advance upward mobility and create change that promotes greater opportunity and prosperity for all. NCAP staff, Community Action Agency (CAA) leaders, and experts from the Upward Mobility Initiative Team at the Urban Institute have planned a two-part learning series to introduce the Upward Mobility Framework and spotlight its use in several CAAs. This framework is an evidence-based foundation that defines upward mobility and the factors that influence it. The suite of tools developed by the Urban Institute team includes an Upward Mobility Data Dashboard to help local leaders measure and promote upward mobility in every county and over 480 cities.
Part I of this series, led by the Urban Institute, will introduce the framework’s three-part definition of social and economic mobility, economic success, power and autonomy, and dignity and belonging. Participants will become familiar with the framework’s core components and accompanying system change and data tools. Stay tuned for Part II, where CAAs will share their experiences applying the framework and using the tools in their communities.
