Belonging is the foundation every student needs to succeed. Across America, children are reeling from a crisis of disconnection, with many feeling isolated, divided, and lonely. Our lack of connection and trust has led to increased bullying, violence and suicide. Solutions require more than programs. They require culture change. The Aspen Institute’s Weave: the Social Fabric Project invests in the local leaders who are putting relationships first across colleges and classrooms and weaving students together across differences in race, class, faith, gender, and ability.
