MISSION ~
As the strategic nonprofit partner of the Minneapolis Public Schools, we mobilize a wide web
of community support to ensure academic achievement, equitable opportunities and career
and college readiness for all students. We believe that preparing our young people to succeed
in school, work and life is the best investment we can make in our citys health and vitality.
VISION, VALUES AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ~
All young people in Minneapolis will succeed in school, work and life, and our community
will thrive as a result of the talent, diversity and vitality of the next generation.
MSP Students are talented, capable and eager to learn. To realize their potential they
need access to opportunity, a supportive learning environment, strong teachers and
mentors and the knowledge and skills to pursue their goals.
All students can and do benefit from career and college readiness services, but a
commitment to equity means prioritizing for those with the greatest needs and barriers.
Providing all students with the level of resources they need to be successful is a
collective responsibility.
Young people benefit from the greater community involvement and partnerships.
Student success is the responsibility of our entire community because schools alone
cannot do the work of educating and nurturing our young people.
Both public and private resources are necessary for young people to achieve their goals.
Education is the best investment we can make in our youth, community and citys future.
Public education is the foundation of a healthy democracy. It strengthens our civic life
and social fabric and ensures an informed, engaged and cohesive community.
Staff at AchieveMpls describe the organizational culture as one that is growth-oriented with a
strong belief in the potential of all students. Dedicated team members are committed to
making meaningful connections that bring results. Staff at AchieveMpls value the
encouragement and inspiration they get from each other and they seek continuous
improvement in their work. But, busy schedules can make it hard to be planful at times.
The Chief Executive Officer provides strategic leadership for the organization
and reports directly to the AchieveMpls Board of Directors.
