Mission Statement
Project Success motivates and inspires each student in every school we serve to dream about their futures, help them create a plan to get there, and give them the tools and support they need to achieve their goals.
Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
Our DIG methodology inspires meaningful engagement from students that increases academic performance and sets the stage for their future. Over the course of seven years — beginning in grade 6 and continuing through grade 12 — we engage students through four program components: Workshops, Arts, Expeditions, and Institute. For today’s students to stay in school, prepare for post-secondary success, and develop the durable skills needed for adulthood, they need more caring, adult support to encourage them and facilitate their future planning and skill development and equitable access to experiences of excellence that help them make those connections and plan and prepare for that transition. Project Success closes this gap by providing equitable access to meaningful experiences and highly trained adult support over time for all Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) 6th-12th grade students and all Mankato Area Public Schools (MAPS) 6th-8th grade students during the 2024-2025 school year.
Current Goals
Project Success continues to work with each student in every school we serve and will work with all Minneapolis Public Schools 6th-12th grade students and Mankato Area Public Schools 6th-8th grade students and 9th grade in the 2025-2026 school year. Our programs have been proven effective in helping, students Dream Big, Ignite Possibilities and Grow Exponentially into inspired individuals ready for success. All program components are designed and proven to help students gain confidence and resilience in creative thinking, decision-making, goal setting, and resourcefulness while developing the skills and generating the support to plan their futures.
