Education Pathway
One unbroken line from an infant classroom to a paycheck — early learning, a partner school, early college credit, and a credential that employers actually hire on.
A pathway is only as strong as its weakest handoff. We fund and coordinate the links — early learning, the partner school, early college credit, and a credential with an employer behind it — so a child raised on these blocks never has to leave them to get a real shot.
A neighborhood-serving early learning and family success center anchoring the earliest years of the pathway, serving [XXX] children annually with wraparound family support.
Our K–8 education partner on the Northside, serving [XXX] students with extended learning time, in-school health services, and a direct handoff into the early college program.
The handoff out of school and into work for older students and adults — industry credentials, paid work experience, and placement with employers who hire from these blocks.
New and rehabbed housing across the income range, with affordability locked in by deed restriction rather than by promise — so the families here now are still here in twenty years.
Learn MoreFood access, clinics, green space, and lighting — chosen block by block by the people who live there, because what Collegeville needs is not what Evergreen needs.
Learn MoreTrade apprenticeships, employers who commit to interviewing locally, and support for the businesses already operating here. Wages first, wealth second.
Learn MoreConcentrated poverty on the Northside was engineered — by redlining, by the interstate, by plant closures. It can be un-engineered the same way: deliberately.
