The success of every child from cradle to career.<\/p>\n

Our Mission<\/h3>\n

We partner with communities to ensure every child has every chance to succeed because race, ethnicity, poverty and circumstance should not determine opportunity or outcome.<\/p>\n

Our Core Values<\/h3>\n

\n
• Community<\/strong>: We focus on what connects us rather than what separates us and communicate to each other with transparency and integrity.<\/li>\n
• Courage<\/strong>: We fail forward even if no one is watching, have the tough conversations no one likes having and take risks in pursuit of results.<\/li>\n
• Equity<\/strong>: We seek and value all types of diversity, put equity into action daily and strive to dismantle inequities, including those present in ourselves, our organization and our communities.<\/li>\n
• Progress<\/strong>: We share learning and progress in real time, view professional development as personal growth and fix problems through continuous improvement.<\/li>\n
• Results<\/strong>: We use data and evidence to make decisions and hold each other accountable for getting results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  This approach of relentlessly examining and measuring results became a national initiative in 2010. Now, StriveTogether supports nearly 70 community partnerships that engage with over 10,800 local organizations. And since the launch of the national network, the original Cincinnati-North Kentucky partnership has registered improvements in more than 90 percent of measured outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
