Change for Good 2025
Wednesday, September 17, 2025
11 a.m. – 12 p.m. CDT
Virtual
This year, HSC’s annual Change for Good event showcased how effective advocacy and direct work with states and school districts can lead to positive, measurable change that supports students, schools and families. This approach and model are more important than ever as our country faces potentially devastating cuts to school funding and safety net programs.
HSC is grateful to all of our partners and changemakers across the country who joined us for this dynamic event to hear from key leaders in the field and learn about actionable priorities for supporting our nation’s public schools and students.
Are you inspired and ready to get involved to support children, families and public schools? Learn how you can take action.
