Please join Children’s Scholarship Fund and the Manhattan Institute for an evening with Governor Glenn Youngkin to discuss the fight to expand educational opportunity and empower parents to choose the best education for their children.
 
Governor Youngkin recently launched Empowering America’s Parents, a new organization working to expand the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit to more than 20 states that have yet to participate and to encourage robust participation in the states that have opted in so far—opening the door to educational opportunities for more than 51.7 million children.

In Virginia, Governor Youngkin has championed major education reforms, including the Virginia Literacy Act, a new school accreditation system, and policies to strengthen higher education. He will discuss the lessons from those reforms, the importance of giving parents more choices, and the national effort to expand educational opportunity.
 
Please join us for a timely conversation about the future of American education—and the growing movement to put parents and students first.
