we advance
equity

With data, collaboration and community wisdom leading the way, the StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network is expanding opportunities for kids and families and getting better, more equitable results. Together, we’re making local success stories a national reality and expanding this work across regions, states and the country.

Community investment in civic infrastructure leads to better and more equitable outcomes across the country. Our 2022 annual report shows how the Cradle to Career Network is creating transformative change for youth and families on the road to economic mobility. Every step we take today will lead us toward a brighter tomorrow.

For over a decade, StriveTogether has been building something unique with the Cradle to Career Network of communities. Now, this concept — civic infrastructure — is gaining momentum among community members and legislators. Our 2021 annual report shows how the civic infrastructure built in communities is putting more young people on the path to economic mobility.

While 2020 was a year of unexpected challenges, StriveTogether and the Cradle to Career Network met those challenges head on and are poised to build back to last. Our 2020 annual report illustrates steps taken to support an equitable recovery by using data to address immediate needs and systemic issues.

StriveTogether is leading a national movement to help every child succeed in school and in life from cradle to career, regardless of race, ethnicity, zip code or circumstance. Our 2019 annual report highlights how the Cradle to Career Network is proving change is possible in communities across the country. It tells the story of system changers, policy shapers and difference makers.

Our first annual report highlights the impact of nearly 70 communities doing this work and getting better outcomes. The report shows how the Cradle to Career Network uses data to illuminate the nation’s most pressing challenges and change the systems that serve youth and families.
