Higher Achievement - Research & Development VISTA
 
 
 
Higher Achievement’s rigorous afterschool and summer academic program closes the opportunity gap for middle school youth in at-risk communities. The program’s proven model provides a rigorous year-round learning environment, caring role models, and a culture of high expectations, resulting in college-bound scholars with the character, confidence, and skills to succeed. On average, 95 percent of scholars who complete Higher Achievement advance to top academic high school programs and 93 percent advance to college. Higher Achievement was founded in Washington, DC in 1975 and currently operates achievement centers in Washington, DC; Alexandria, VA; Baltimore, MD; Richmond, VA; and Pittsburgh, PA.

Member Duties : As Higher Achievement grows, the core model is continually tested. The core model (what we do and why) is based on researched based best practices, which are also continually changing and deepening. This also has large implications for funding through grants both locally and nationally when proven strategies can be demonstrated. However, our capacity to continue revisions is limited, which may impact development efforts in the future. Activity 1: Research best practices in the field of OST related to core model of Higher Achievement, as per the Core Model document. Activity 2: Implement strategic process for refinement of the core model. Activity 3: Conduct funder prospect research. Link the core model and program outcomes to new donor prospect research in key communities. Activity 4: Achieve sustainability of this VISTA role
