Register for our upcoming webinar on June 18 at 2 PM ET: “Building a Stronger Workforce to Support Economic Mobility.” Cities, towns, and villages can play a unique role in developing policies, practices or community partnerships that support workers’ ability to meet their basic needs and uplift themselves and their families. This work can be seen as foundational to supporting residents’ economic mobility — allowing them to get a job, keep a job and get ahead. Register for this webinar to learn more about what municipalities are doing to support workers, what efforts your municipality can make, regardless of size, and to hear firsthand how one municipality is carrying out this work.

NLC was proud to be a presenting partner at the 2025 National Economic Mobility & Opportunity Conference in Baltimore! Economic mobility goes beyond income — it’s shaped by access, systems and lived experience. Our teams led and joined conversations on inclusive second-chance policies. We also held a youth-centered workforce development session featuring local leaders who have achieved positive results thanks to their involvement in NLC’s economic mobility programs. This June, NLC will spotlight tools and strategies to advance economic mobility at the local level — and we’ll announce the 12 cities selected for our Advancing Economic Mobility Rapid Grant. Stay tuned! #EconomicMobility (fb)
