Introducing our 2016 Community Partners
Partnership for student success is at the heart of everything we do. Strong community partnerships lead to increased student achievement, enhanced social capital, and a greater likelihood of graduation and career success. We believe that all young people can achieve their greatest potential in school, work and life when they have strong schools and a generous community to support them.
53 of our partner organizations - businesses, foundations, public agencies and nonprofits - have demonstrated outstanding commitment to Minneapolis students through their generous financial and program support, as well as their strategic leadership and collaboration in this work.
We are honored to recognize these organizations as our 2016 AchieveMpls Champions, Advocates and Allies:
