Two Generations. One Future.

A network advancing family-focused education and economic opportunity in Arizona.

What is TwoGenEd?

Launched by A Stepping Stone Foundation in 2017, the TwoGenEd Affinity Group brings together educators, funders, policymakers, and practitioners committed to two-generation strategies that support both children and their parents. This model improves school readiness, adult literacy, and long-term family success.

Why It Matters

We believe that meaningful change happens when the people closest to the work are part of the solution. Two-generation strategies connect early learning with family support and career development—strengthening families as a whole. By focusing on both generations together, we’re helping to build stronger communities and a more resilient future workforce.

Our Approach

TwoGenEd convenes quarterly at demonstration sites, partner schools, and public spaces—including the Arizona State Capitol. Each gathering is designed to highlight what’s working in our state, elevate the voices of families and communities, and identify opportunities to align funding and policy with on-the-ground needs. Through connection and collaboration, we’re shaping a more responsive and equitable system of support.

Join the Movement

Whether you’re a school leader, early childhood advocate, public official, or foundation partner, we invite you to join the conversation. Together, we can amplify the impact of TwoGen strategies in Arizona.
