Proud to celebrate another school year of empowering future generations of Arizonans through School Participatory Budgeting. ✅ Take a look at the Vote Days in action. Winning projects ranged from cafeteria window wraps to new gym and recess equipment.

Meet, Cara 👋 She’s one of 37 Arizona high school students who took part in a six-week virtual internship, gaining real-world experience through mentorship and hands-on projects. All supported by the U.S. Department of Labor Workforce Pathways for Youth Grant, coordinated by our Arizona Pathways to Prosperity initiative in partnership with the Work-Based Learning Alliance.

Interns worked in teams with organizations across the engineering, higher education, economic development, nonprofit, and life sciences sectors.

Experiences like these help students across the state access opportunities to build confidence, strengthen skills, and explore new possibilities for their future. Read about the experience: https://t.co/XbFWDHw9mN

Our Good Elections Project shows strong consensus across Arizona on established voting options: 81% support early voting by mail and election-day ballot drop-off, including 85% of Arizonans ages 18–29. Across Arizonans of all ages and party affiliations, these options are widely seen as a key part of how elections work well. View the findings: https://t.co/wUN1hhZUrs

Accuracy, transparency, speed of results? @Billgatesaz joined @offcentervoice on @KTAR923's @BroomheadShow to share what Arizonans value most in elections.

These findings from the Good Elections Project, our collaboration with the Mechanics of Democracy Lab, show Arizonans agree on more than they disagree when it comes to delivering fair, secure, and trustworthy elections.

We recently convened education leaders in the Phoenix area and Tucson to support them in utilizing our Permission Granted resources to redesign their school systems. The sessions focused on role-specific scenario planning, helping participants identify how they can activate and leverage policy flexibility to support student success.

We also worked with participants to identify concrete next steps to lead their schools and communities in using the Policy Primer and Innovation Guide to redesign education systems to better meet student needs and improve outcomes in their community.

We’re grateful for the continued support of our partners, including @HeliosEdFnd, and for our partnership with @AEconomy84711, as we work to redesign educational systems and increase student success across Arizona.
