Our Mission & Vision
Building the infrastructure to dramatically scale high-quality postsecondary advising
To dramatically scale high quality conversations between advisors and students on postsecondary pathways
We equip far more people—from nonprofit staff to school counselors—with trusted information, proven techniques, and we will make it easily accessible to them so that they can serve more students, more effectively.
A National Network of Empowered Advisors
Through an open-sourced platform, we will enable widespread, high-quality advisor conversations and support to help millions of students make the most informed decisions about their postsecondary pathway and career goals.
Building from the Past, Meeting the Moment
Proven Impact and Evidence
Organizations like OneGoal, Bottom Line, Let's Get Ready, uAspire, and others have codified programmatic models directly serving hundreds of thousands of students with strong evidence of impact through research studies of what works for supporting students at key decision points in their journey.
Expanding Pathways
Postsecondary advising has widened to include multiple pathways, giving students more options to consider and navigate beyond traditional four-year college degrees.
Technological Opportunity
Advancements in many technology areas, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), offer new opportunities to share advice and information efficiently at scale, to build appropriate guardrails that ensure the information being shared is accurate, and democratizing access to best practices.
