Marin Promise Partnership Information

We envision a future in which every child in Marin can reach their full educational potential to become the outstanding leaders, caring neighbors, and successful professionals they want to be. To get there, we have made a commitment to redesign our educational ecosystem so that race, ethnicity and poverty no longer determine opportunity or outcome. Unfortunately, 25,000 young people from infants to college graduates (more than 45% of all youth in Marin) are impacted by a system that was not designed with equity in mind. Because of this, about 60% of them are not yet meeting key Milestone outcomes. This is unacceptable and is why over 100 youth and family leaders, community organizations, funders, and public agencies - have come together as an integrated, Cradle-to-Career network to advance educational equity across Marin. Together, we are working to improve outcomes for all students while accelerating success for those most impacted by historical biases and structural racism. Racial Equity Statement: Racial equity for students in Marin will be achieved when race and ethnicity no longer predict the outcome of a young person's educational future. As a Marin Promise Partner, our organization commits to identify and dismantle racial inequities, and provide equity-based supports, so that our most vulnerable children can achieve their full potential.
