In my role at Civic Enterprises, I'm lucky to work with the Grad Nation Civic Marshall Plan Leadership Council*, which brings together more than 40 leading national partners to reach the goal of 90 percent high school graduation rates by 2020. Each week, I get to learn about the work that national organizations are doing to help change lives on the ground.
Here are a few websites I frequently visit for more information on
this work.
America’s Promise Alliance is the nation’s largest partnership dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth. We bring together more than 400 national organizations representing nonprofits, businesses, communities, educators and policymakers.
American Graduate: Let's Make it Happen s a multi-year public media initiative, supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to help local communities identify and implement solutions to the high school dropout crisis.
The Everyone Graduates Center develops and disseminates the know-how required to enable all students to graduate from high school prepared for college, career, and civic life.
