President and CEO
Economic Mobility Pathways

Beth Babcock is President and CEO of Economic Mobility Pathways (EMPath), a Boston-based national nonprofit organization whose mission is to move families out of poverty and help other organizations do the same. Since 2009, EMPath’s brain science–informed antipoverty approach, Mobility Mentoring™, has radically improved economic mobility outcomes for participants and has been endorsed and adopted by state governments, nonprofit organizations, national foundations, and academic institutions.

Amazing new evidence from the social and biological sciences is showing us the terrible toll living in poverty has on human development, learning, behavior, decision-making, and health. This science offers exciting and actionable insights into how to strengthen programs and policies.
