The National Partnership for Student Success public-private partnership came to a close on Sunday, January 19th. The work started by the NPSS Hub at the Johns Hopkins Everyone Graduates Center will continue under a new name: the Partnership for Student Success.
We will be making updates to this website over the coming week.

The Partnership for Student Success

The Partnership for Student Success is a coalition of nonprofits, higher education institutions, and school districts working to enable all students to get the evidence-based supports they need to succeed.

Let's All Come Together To Help Students Thrive

The students of our country have enormous potential to learn and thrive in school and beyond.

However, additional caring adults in and out of schools are needed to support students through critical educational and mental health challenges.

Our students can thrive when we all pitch in – in a coordinated, research-based, locally driven, all-in effort worthy of America’s students.

Based at the Johns Hopkins University Everyone Graduates Center, The Partnership for Student Success supports a nationwide effort in local and state communities across the country to bring evidence-based and people-powered support to all students. We bring together experts and practitioners in education, national service, and youth development to support locally-driven implementation of tutoring, mentoring, student success coaching, postsecondary transition coaching, wraparound/integrated student supports, and other evidence-based practices that support children and youth. We do this through:

    1. Creating enabling conditions for local collaborations between school districts, nonprofits, higher education institutions, and state/local government to work together to provide all students with the supports they need to succeed.
    2. Leading strategic efforts to engage specific populations–such as older adults, college students, high school students, AmeriCorps members, or corporate volunteers–in jobs, volunteer roles, and career-connected learning opportunities providing P-12 students with evidence-based supports, as tutors, mentors, student success, coaches, postsecondary transition coaches, wraparound support coordinators and other support roles.
    3. Organizing solutions networks and working groups to address pervasive challenges (e.g. chronic absenteeism) facing students and facilitate collaboration, information sharing, and learning between practitioners working toward shared solutions.
    4. Providing technical assistance and networking support to schools, districts, nonprofits, and state/local government to support implementation.
    5. Developing publicly available tools and resources to aid the implementation of evidence-based student supports.
    6. Conducting research on the use and reach of evidence-based and people-powered student supports nationwide.
