Partnerships Overview

Our community partnerships are foundational to advancing equitable educational outcomes and expanding access to opportunity for all learners. By collaborating with school districts, colleges, universities, service centers, non-profits, foundations, and workforce and corporate partners, we create a comprehensive support network that empowers students from early education through postsecondary success and into meaningful careers.

These partnerships are strategically aligned to:

  • Strengthen academic pathways through aligned K–12 and higher education initiatives
  • Support college and career readiness with targeted advising, mentoring, and technical assistance
  • Enhance educator preparation and development through collaboration with teacher training programs and service centers
  • Promote equity and inclusion by addressing systemic barriers and supporting underserved communities
  • Foster economic mobility through workforce development and financial empowerment initiatives

Together, these partnerships form a robust ecosystem that drives innovation, supports student achievement, and builds stronger communities.
