Alliance VISTA - GradMinnesota Community Outreach Associate

Using a collective impact approach, GradMinnesota helps stakeholders and communities work side-by-side to identify and address the challenges and opportunities around educational equity and successful high school graduation for all youth. GradMinnesota’s vision is that ALL young people in Minnesota graduate from high school prepared for success in postsecondary opportunities, work, civic engagement and life. While there are successful evidence-informed efforts working in schools, districts and communities around the state, changes in policy and practice are necessary to bring those efforts to scale and ensure that all students have access to an education that prepares them for post-secondary and career success. GradMinnesota’s seven Priority Recommendations were identified by a coalition of over 50 state agencies, associations, schools and community organizations that collaborated to analyze the issues, determine programs and practices that work, and identify policy changes necessary to close Minnesota’s student achievement gaps.
