Project Title
For building the capacity of #DegreesNYC's Data Co-Op and Youth-Led Research
Date
Dec. 08, 2022
Duration
15 months
Description
While there is a robust set of community-based organizations supporting young people in New York City, particularly with the goal of preparing them for college and career, these organizations often work in siloes and lack the mechanisms needed to share learning and measure impact. #DegreesNYC is a collective impact initiative focused on improving postsecondary access and completion in New York City by bringing organizations together under a shared set of goals and structures. In partnership with the Research Alliance for New York City Schools, #DegreesNYC facilitates a data co-op with twenty-two community-based organizations and school networks to equip them with the data and skills needed to improve programming and post-secondary outcomes for students. Prior Corporation support enabled #DegreesNYC to expand data co-op membership by seven organizations, advance policy efforts focused on career pathways, and report on systemic inequities in the postsecondary education pipeline through the “Changing the Odds” report released in January 2022. Continued support will allow #DegreesNYC to expand youth-led research opportunities and build the capacity of the data co-op to use data to inform the field and achieve better outcomes for youth.

While there is a robust set of community-based organizations supporting young people in New York City, particularly with the goal of preparing them for college and career, these organizations often work in siloes and lack the mechanisms needed to share learning and measure impact. #DegreesNYC is a collective impact initiative focused on improving postsecondary access and completion in New York City by bringing organizations and stakeholders together under a shared set of goals and structures. In partnership with the Research Alliance for New York City Schools, #DegreesNYC facilitates a data co-op with fourteen college access organizations to equip them with the data and skills needed to improve programming and outcomes for students. As part of the Focus NYC initiative, Corporation support will allow #DegreesNYC to expand data co-op membership by seven organizations, advance policy efforts focused on career preparation and pathways, and report on systemic inequities in the postsecondary education pipeline.
