Project Success

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 Project Success worked with more than 15,000 6th-12th grade students and their families in the Minneapolis Public School district in the 2023-2024 school year, along with launching a partnership with Mankato Area Public School district to begin to work with their middle school students. 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.
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 in 2024-2025 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.
