EdTrust–New York is a statewide education policy and advocacy organization focused first and foremost on doing right by New York’s children.

Through our research and advocacy, EdTrust-West engages diverse communities dedicated to education equity and justice and increases political and public will to build an education system where students of color and multilingual learners, especially those experiencing poverty, will thrive.
