 | Welfare Rights Initiative was developed at the Hunter College Center for the Study of Family Policy to address three problematic aspects of the welfare reform debates: the absent voice of welfare claimants; the negative stereotypes that dominate decision-making, and the need for reforms that are realistic and socially constructive.
WRI's educational, legal, social service and advocacy programs help students to become informed about local, state and federal anti-poverty, social welfare and higher education policies; provide students with the opportunity to participate in organizing and leadership development activities; and facilitate their interaction with faculty, community advocates, activists, service providers and policy-makers.
In all of its activities, WRI seeks to inject the voices of students (especially those with firsthand experience of poverty) into relevant program and policy-making processes.
