ACHIEVE TWIN CITIES

Achieve Twin Cities is a long-running Minneapolis-based nonprofit that operates career and college readiness services for high school and postsecondary students in the Twin Cities. The organization directs Career & College Centers in Minneapolis and Saint Paul high schools and serves as the nonprofit foundation partner for Minneapolis Public Schools. Achieve Twin Cities partners with the City of Minneapolis and a network of employers and nonprofit partners to operate youth employment and internship programs (including the Step Up Youth Employment program) and to deliver counseling, college-advising and career pathway supports. Its staff includes licensed counselors, social workers and college-access specialists who work directly with students to build postsecondary plans. In recent years Achieve Twin Cities updated its brand and website, produced annual reports and public Form 990 disclosures, and continued multi-year partnerships with school districts, municipal youth employment initiatives and private foundation funders to sustain programming and scholarships.
