From financial aid completion workshops to postsecondary planning toolkits, students and their families need guidance and support to navigate the many options available to them.

SIXTH ANNUAL CRADLE TO CAREER LUNCHEON

Our community thrives when we come together. We are parents and educators, early learning and higher education, business and labor, youth and community service, civic and philanthropy, local government and communities of faith. With more than 350 organizations and advocates working in partnership, Graduate Tacoma is a movement of leaders committed to transforming systems and advancing education equity. Your role is critical in our collective effort to improve outcomes for youth. No single person, program or provider can address the systemic inequities preventing young people from achieving success. It truly takes all of us to lean in and work toward a Tacoma where every child achieves success, from cradle to career.
