The Two-Generation Approach

The Two-Generation Approach focuses on helping both children and their parents or caregivers at the same time, recognizing that their well-being and success are interconnected. By supporting families together—such as providing early childhood education for kids while offering job training or health services for parents—it creates a positive cycle that benefits the entire family. This whole-family strategy aims to break patterns of poverty and improve outcomes like education, health, and economic stability by addressing needs simultaneously across generations.
