Our Impact
Answering the President’s Call to Action
The National Partnership for Student Success supports a nationwide effort to recruit, screen, train, support, and engage an additional 250,000 caring adults in roles serving as tutors, mentors, student success coaches, wraparound service coordinators, and post-secondary transition coaches.
The NPSS works to increase the number of people in student support roles that research shows result in gains in reading and math, graduation rates, reductions in chronic absenteeism, and improved student well-being. By supporting schools, non-profit organizations, colleges, workplaces, state agencies, and community-based champions that provide students with people-powered supports, the NPSS helps organizations expand, improve and/or create high-quality, evidence-based programs to support learning and thriving.

Post-Secondary Transition Coaches
Support post-secondary exposure, college search and fit/match, college application creation, financial aid applications, and navigation of post-secondary transitions.
Academic Tutors
A form of teaching, one-on-one or in a small group, towards a specific goal. High-impact tutoring leads to months of additional learning gains for students by supplementing (but not replacing) students’ classroom experiences. High-impact tutoring responds to individual needs and complements students’ existing curriculum.
High-Quality Mentors
With training and support, facilitate a variety of youth development and enrichment experiences, help youth explore and affirm their identity, provide navigational support around school-to-work transitions, and buffer against adversity in-school, out of school, and over the summer.
Student Success Coaches
Form diverse teams in systemically under-resourced schools to partner with teachers to provide integrated, relationship-driven social, emotional, academic, and youth development supports to enhance student outcomes and create positive learning environments at the classroom and whole school level during and after the school day.
Wraparound/Integrated Student Support Coordinators
Enable schools to build strong connections and systems with community health, mental health, and social service providers. Coordinators put school climate plans and multi-tiered systems of support into action.
