The Launch
We partnered with Alliance College-Ready Public Schools, the largest public charter school organization in Los Angeles, on program design and improvement. We completed three projects related to their college access and college success work, central to their mission. Working with senior leadership, we helped to redefine roles for home office and school-based staff and supported the development of a multi-year strategic plan aimed at increasing the rate of college matriculation and college persistence of graduating high school students.
