Strive represents unprecedented collaboration among community organizations that care deeply about educational success in the region. The education, business, non-profit, civic, and philanthropic sectors are all sitting at the same table with community members to engage in discussions about how we can work together to support students, families, and educators academically and socially as they work toward a better future.
The partners and community members agree that student success doesn’t depend on any single part of the educational pipeline from preschool through college. Instead, we must focus on each and every step along the way and ensure the proper supports inside and outside the school walls are in place.
To crystallize this belief, Strive partners reviewed extensive research to develop the Roadmap to Success that identifies key experiences, benchmarks, and transition points that are necessary for success from birth through some form of education beyond high school.
Together with our partners in the community, we will identify, support, and implement strategies that will ensure every student and family meets success throughout the Roadmap. We will hold ourselves accountable for results by releasing a community report card on student success. And we will never stop working to achieve our mission: ensuring every child in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky is prepared for college, successful careers, and productive citizenship.
