Achieve!Minneapolis (Minneapolis Program)

Achieve!Minneapolis is the designated intermediary organization that connects community resources with the Minneapolis Public Schools. The vision of Achieve!Minneapolis is that all students will graduate from high school prepared for satisfying careers and lifelong learning.

Achieve!Minneapolis facilitates school-business partnerships that enhance learning, raises funds for school reform initiatives, and provides students with career and post-secondary exploration experiences that make learning relevant. Achieve!Minneapolis manages STEP-UP, a summer youth employment program sponsored by the City of Minneapolis, coordinates the annual Principal for a Day®, administers grant and scholarship opportunities for teachers and students, and serves as the local education fund to administer financial contributions to schools and the Minneapolis school district. Achieve!Minneapolis operates Career and College Centers in Minneapolis Public high schools providing resources for students to explore career paths after graduation and prepare for post-secondary education.
