New York City’s new class size mandate, while well-intentioned, could have unintended consequences for our highest-poverty schools. According to a recent Urban Institute report, these schools may experience a significant loss of teachers as the city works to meet new class size requirements. "At Robin Hood, we follow the data in our work to fight poverty," said Chris Caruso, Managing Director of School-Age Children at Robin Hood. "As a proud supporter of this analysis, we appreciate the work our partner—the Urban Institute—has done to shine a light on some of the possible unintended repercussions that State policy might have on poor kids and families in New York City." It's crucial that policymakers consider targeted interventions to support these schools and address the root causes of teacher turnover. The stakes are high, and our collective action will determine if this policy truly delivers on its promise of better educational outcomes for all.

With the rising temperatures in NYC, many low-income New Yorkers face significant challenges in keeping cool. Robin Hood's latest Poverty Tracker report, in collaboration with Columbia University's Center for Poverty and Social Policy, sheds light on the pressing issue of energy insecurity. “We must ensure that energy-specific supports, like subsidies and disconnection protections, reach all the New Yorkers who need them while making progress on key issues like housing, child care, tax policies and wages to make NYC more broadly affordable,” said Matthew Klein, Chief Program and Impact Officer at Robin Hood. Dive into the full report to learn more about energy insecurity and how Robin Hood is confronting this increasingly critical issue as utility costs soar during longer, hotter summers. https://lnkd.in/ex2tAxnq

How are Robin Hood and Paul Hastings partnering to fight poverty in NYC? Recently, our team had the pleasure of meeting with Paul Hastings LLP for an inspiring session about how their employees can make a significant social impact in New York City through Robin Hood. The event—organized by Paul Hasting's Lauren Brooten (Tsuchiya) and led by Robin Hood's Chris Campbell, Kate Davis, Margaret Schilling, and David Tomczak—was a masterclass in corporate engagement and nonprofit support. The room buzzed with energy as we delved into Robin Hood's mission to fight poverty in NYC, the state of poverty in New York, as well as unveiling our exciting corporate partnership opportunities, highlighting how companies like Paul Hastings LLP can collaborate with Robin Hood. But the highlight of the day was showcasing Robin Hood's Board Placement program, a best-in-class service that connects passionate employees with the boards of Robin Hood grantees. This was brought to life by Shawn Kodes, a Paul Hastings LLP partner, who shared his incredible journey with Robin Hood, serving on the board of Start Small Think Big and previously the Chair of the Junior Board of Partnership with Children.
