tutormentor1<p>If you live in a mid, large or mega size city you probably have areas of concentrated poverty. As some people try to help kids from these areas move through school into jobs, others need to remove some of the systemic barriers. This may be more difficult in the coming years. </p><p>Does anyone host a map like this for your community?</p><p>See the <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/conceptmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conceptmap</span></a> at <a href="https://cmapspublic.ihmc.us/rid=1SV6LFW40-1CRY9MM-47Z/BirthToWork-Challenges-USA.cmap" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cmapspublic.ihmc.us/rid=1SV6LF</span><span class="invisible">W40-1CRY9MM-47Z/BirthToWork-Challenges-USA.cmap</span></a></p>
