Mission

Our mission is a bold one: Surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. We work within Durham public schools to impact the lives of over 600 students every year.

About

Graduation/Success Coaches - Graduation and success coaches work one-on-one with students at risk of dropping out of high school. Coaches also deliver school-wide services designed to mitigate barriers to student success. Our areas of focus include improving attendance, addressing issues behind problematic behavior, improving coursework (grades), and educating and engaging parents to support student success. In 2017-'18 fiscal year, we case managed 332 students and spent over 20,000 hours providing tiered supports to six schools in Durham. For the students we serve, sustained improvements are the most important indicator of their long-term success in school. Over 40% of our students showed sustained academic improvements in their core subjects (math, ELA, science) last year.
