Achieve Atlanta

We're excited to release a case study, "Pathways to Partnership: How Cross-Sector Collaboration Can Increase Impact," developed in collaboration with the Center for Public Research and Leadership (CPRL) at Columbia University. Achieve Atlanta creates cross-sector partnerships that drive positive outcomes for Atlanta Public Schools students and Achieve Atlanta Scholars. The case study details our model's unique cross-sector collaboration component—working with college access, affordability, and success partners to achieve outcomes that no single organization could accomplish alone. The case study illustrates how Achieve Atlanta partners with different sectors and how that is critical to its mission and enables a bigger impact. Even though the partnerships are different, they all have some things in common: ✅ Alignment in mission, values, and goals ✅ Collective accountability through data and continuous improvement practices ✅ A relationship-centered approach that builds trust and spurs innovative solutions to barriers students face Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e4ZTbspG #BelieveExpectAchieve #AchieveAtlanta #PartneringforImpact #PartnershipModels

Thank you, National College Attainment Network (NCAN) for this amazing opportunity to contribute to policy discussions and lend Achieve Atlanta's and our students' and partners' voices to efforts to create more equitable and affordable postsecondary paths in the US. I've learned so much from my peers already and look forward to more!

Achieve Atlanta is saddened by the tragic act of violence at Apalachee High School in Barrow County. We extend our deepest condolences to the victims, their families, and the entire school community. We are committed to helping students and supporting the communities that serve them.

Today’s #MidweekMotivation is Achieve Atlanta alum Tabius McCoy, who recently graduated from Columbia University with a master’s degree in journalism! He plans to become a freelance photojournalist and producer. “Throughout my undergrad journey at Georgia Institute of Technology, Achieve Atlanta served as a great support system, and this support transcended through grad school at Columbia as well. They provided beneficial resources on how to navigate school, find employment, and network. The Achieve Atlanta family is one that runs deep and I feel it’s important to pay it forward to those who come after me.” —Tabius Congratulations, Tabius! 🎉 #AchieveAtlantaAlumni #ColumbiaUniversity #Masters #Classof2024 #BelievedExpectedAchieved
