Where We Stand: Real Solutions for Loneliness, Learning Loss, and Literacy

The reality of being an educator in these troubling times can have serious effects on the mental health of those who teach and their students. As a result, AFT has created a new program to help.

Read about AFT's new $5 million Real Solutions for Kids and Communities campaign. The goals of the campaign are to:

• unlock the power and possibility that come from being a confident reader;

• ensure that all children have opportunities to learn by doing—engaging in experiential learning, including career and technical education;

• catalyze a vast expansion of community schools that meaningfully partner with families;

• care for young people’s mental health and well-being, including by demanding that social media companies protect, not prey on, children; and

• fight for the teaching and support staff, and the resources, students need to thrive.
