AchieveMpls Information

As the strategic nonprofit partner of Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), our shared goal is every student career and college ready. We mobilize community volunteers, employers, funders and partners to ensure that all students graduate with the tools, support and confidence they need to pursue meaningful careers. We offer personalized life-planning resources for 9,000 MPS students each year in our 11 Career & College Centers, provide paid internships for 700 Minneapolis youth at 140 companies through Step Up (part of the City of Minneapolis Step Up program) and engage 800 volunteers as Graduation Coaches and career exploration volunteers. We also serve as the foundation for MPS, managing school and department funds, administering scholarships and staff mini-grants, and raising major support for the district’s strategic priorities.
