OneGoal

Potential and talent are equally distributed, but opportunity is not. Nearly identical percentages of 10th graders from low- and high-income communities aspire to complete a postsecondary education. Only 22% of students from low-income communities earn a college degree, compared to 67% of their peers from high-income areas. At OneGoal, we believe that all students ? not just those with the best grades or the most resources ? have the ability and deserve the opportunity to earn a postsecondary degree. What?s more, we have developed a solution that works, and we believe this problem is solvable within our lifetime. -In just 10 years, OneGoal has grown from 32 students in one city to some 13,000 students in six regions. -OneGoal?s teacher-led, in-school, three-year college access and success model is game-changing. While nationwide, only 22% of kids in low-income communities earn a postsecondary degree, 81% of OneGoal Fellows (students) enroll in a postsecondary institution and 86% of those who enroll persist one year later. -Over the next five years we have set our sights on unprecedented goals: first to attain a 60% graduation rate among Fellows and, second, to develop new delivery models to dramatically grow our reach. OneGoal has regional offices in the Bay Area, Chicago, Houston, Massachusetts, Metro Atlanta, and New York. Mission: OneGoal?s mission is to close the degree divide in America.
