2018 was a huge year for America Succeeds. From adding a new affiliate to engaging new partners to kicking off a national conversation about what it means for our education system to be more agile, we grew in every way imaginable and we deepened our impact across our entire network.
The America Succeeds model is supported by world-class research and analysis on highly effective networks. Although meaningful change happens organically at the local level, state-based policy and advocacy groups tend to be small, scrappy, and isolated from groups doing similar work.
America Succeeds connects likeminded organizations to generate systems-level change from the bottom-up. Combined with a broad range of professional services designed to build capacity and our team’s expertise, joining the network can help increase an organization’s impact and efficiency as an agent for education change.
