Cities of Learning

Building on the successful model established in Chicago, the City of Learning pilot initiatives were launched in Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington D.C. and Pittsburgh. Local entities led each city's effort, driving their strategic vision and owning core execution. Los Angeles and Dallas initiatives were both launched in partnership with their city's mayor. The Digital Youth Network provided the technical platform powering each city's launch as well as resources, consultation and professional development to support on the ground operations.
