EOP advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy.

About us

The Economic Opportunities Program (EOP) advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy. We recognize that race, gender, and place intersect with and intensify the challenge of economic inequality and we address these dynamics by advancing an inclusive vision of economic justice. For over 25 years, EOP has focused on expanding individuals’ opportunities to connect to quality work, start businesses, and build economic stability that provides the freedom to pursue opportunity. We collaborate with national and local leaders across the United States – nonprofit leaders, policymakers, labor leaders, business leaders, educators, academics, and more – and we actively seek input and ideas from individuals and communities affected by proposed approaches to address economic opportunity challenges. Through our leadership and fellowship programs; applied research and evaluation; data and analysis; and dialogue with diverse stakeholders, we work at both local and national levels to build understanding and galvanize action to address the challenge of economic opportunity in America. EOP encompasses efforts engaging different approaches toward expanding opportunity: the Business Ownership Initiative, Good Companies/Good Jobs, UpSkill America, the Workforce Strategies Initiative. In addition, across these approaches EOP hosts the Economic Opportunity Fellows Network and the Working in America event series. An Advisory Council offers insights, strategic counsel, and guidance in support of our work.

To that end, we are excited to share a groundbreaking study on the experiences of young gig workers and the challenges they face in this rapidly evolving sector. Led by Dr. Shelly Steward, former executive director of our Future of Work Initiative and now chief research officer with The Workers Lab, this research provides data-driven insights on the motivations, struggles, and opportunities of young people in gig work — and explores how policies and practices can evolve to better support this dynamic workforce.

  An exciting employee ownership cross-community collaboration was announced in support of the Penn ESOP Leadership Program for CEOs https://lnkd.in/epmZyUpV. The Penn program, founded and directed by Dr. Virginia Vanderslice, continues its 20+ year commitment to delivering a high value and unique development opportunity for ESOP executive leaders. Dr. Vanderslice, known as Ginny by the program’s 170 graduates, was awarded the Life Service Award by The ESOP Association in 2017. At that time, The ESOP Association issued a press release stating: "”Virginia has championed the idea that employee owned companies can maximize their potential by instituting a culture that is genuine and that emphasizes engagement and communication among all employee owners," said J. Michael Keeling, President of The ESOP Association. "By helping employee owned companies recognize the importance of an effective ownership culture, she has helped spread awareness of employee ownership as a significant benefit to employees, companies, and the nation.” Vanderslice has more than 30 years of experience helping employee owned companies develop leaders and manage cultural transitions. Her articles have been published widely in peer review and trade journals.” She is a faculty member at the Center for Organizational Dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania, where she teaches courses on organizational change. She also is the founder and Academic Director of Leading in an Ownership Setting, a program for top executives at employee owned businesses.”* Please check out the employee ownership community support for the longstanding Penn ESOP Leadership Program for CEOs on their new homepage hhttps://lnkd.in/epmZyUpV and spread the word of the program in your networks! *The Penn program has updated its name to avoid confusion with a newly announced initiative.Ginny Vanderslice J.
