A supplemental video to the Our Kids Series: The Our Kids O’Hare Seminar. A Panel hosted by Robert Putnam with leaders from some of the communities featured in the series.
"Our Kids depicts the importance of compassion and 'community' in our efforts to meet the growing needs of youth. It's a call to action for all of us."
"In a time when our country seems to be moving towards more ideological extremes, work such as "Our Kids" is incredibly important; it shines light on examples in the country where the social fabric of our country is diverse and strong in the area that our future most depends - the growth and development of our children."
"The work of the Media Policy Center and, in particular, their focus surrounding Robert Putnam’s “Our Kids”, is vitally important as we consider the future health of our country. In reality, “Our Kids” are “Our Future.” Spotlighting initiatives around the country that are kid/family centered and offer real hope for bridging the opportunity gap that is growing in America, will certainly ignite important discourse and lay a path for hope and change.
