Achieve Atlanta — which was announced as a commitment during the White House College Opportunity Day of Action last week — is a big idea with the goal to increase the number of Atlanta Public Schools students graduating from college by 20 percent by the year 2025.
To do that, the organization will invest in strategies that Assist students in preparing for and enrolling in college through consistent high-quality high school advising; ensure students are supported academically, socially and emotionally once enrolled in college through intensive advising; provide students with financial assistance to help them persist and graduate; and mobilize community and civic support for students.
And Achieve Atlanta is looking to hire its first executive director, who will provide vision and leadership to develop and execute a data-driven, growth-oriented college attainment program, using community-building and collective impact principles.
