Community Collaboration Challenge
Since 2023, the National Partnership for Student Success Support Hub at the Everyone Graduates Center has supported 42 awardees in 25 states and Washington DC via the Community Collaboration Challenge. The Challenge provides $5,000-$10,000 awards to communities and is designed to support collaboration that expands and pilots evidence-based NPSS aligned student supports: academic tutors, mentors, student success coaches, wraparound/integrated student support coordinators, and post-secondary transition coaches.
Awards have supported a range of catalyzing opportunities. Read about 2023 and 2024 awardees below.

Download Planning Toolkit for Collaborative Goal-Setting Events
This Toolkit of Planning Collaborative Goal-Setting Events is specifically intended to support community, school, and district leaders in bringing together key stakeholders in their communities to identify shared assets and challenges, and consider where and how they might bring tutors, mentors, student success coaches, post-secondary transition coaches, and/or wraparound/integrated student supports to students in their communities. This guide was created to help you plan a local collaborative goal-setting convening and includes considerations for the planning process, invitees, program elements, and follow up that you may choose to use in your own planning.
Key Insights from Participants
“Given the success of the event in meeting our key objectives, there is a strong desire to hold more convenings of this nature, either virtually or in-person, to continue the conversations that were started during the symposium.”
“We must strengthen the connection between schools/teachers and students’ families at home. The more we understand and address what students are facing when they leave campus, the better we can address the full scope of their needs.”
