What would it take to ensure every student in your community had access to high-speed internet? When the world went virtual, one community leveraged the collective infrastructure they'd spent years building to ensure all students qualifying for free and reduced lunch would be guaranteed free internet for a decade. And in a matter of months. What once seemed impossible was possible all along.

Learning Objectives:

• How partnerships built and nurtures through collective impact can expedite the removal of inequities in the face of a crisis
• How action in the face of a crisis can change the mental models of a community related to what is possible in the long term
