Partnerships for Prosperity - An Equitable, Zero-Barrier Approach to College and Career Readiness Programming
Partnerships for Prosperity is an initiative designed, created, and operationalized by Generation Schools Network and the Colorado Rural Education Collaborative.
This initiative enables school districts, independent charters, and alternative schools to work collaboratively to offer equitable and zero barrier college and career readiness programming.
Many rural school districts and independent charters are “siloed” and do not have access to high-quality college and career programming for their students. Partnerships for Prosperity works with districts, businesses, community partners, and national partners to collectively elevate each student's educational experience.

TESTIMONIAL
““We have worked with Generation School Network for almost a year as an employee partner. We have engaged in their different career exploration activities such as mock interviews and guest speaking. The College and Career Readiness Network Manager always made sure we had the space, time and a variety of options to help us create excitement around the culinary field.
One of the students we connected with, mentioned that they didn’t think about a future due to their life experiences. But in collaboration with Generation School Network, the teachers and their school counselors, they now have the opportunity to imagine, process and make future goals.Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be apart of a network that works hard to help students see a different possibility for life and reach goals that may have once seemed far away!””
