OneGoal supports students who are underserved by existing school programs and whose college prospects are extremely limited by providing them with the daily support of an excellent teacher who is committed to ensuring that they make it to and through college. In doing so, we offer our OneGoal partners a unique complement to the work already being done by school college offices and guidance counselors.

THE NATION'S LARGEST
SCHOOL DISTRICT
New York City has the largest school district in the country, serving 1.1 million students in more than 500 high schools, yet only 16% of New York City Department of Education 9th graders from low-income backgrounds have obtained an associates or bachelors degree six years following high school graduation.
THE
MISSING PIECE
POISED
FOR GROWTH
While we just started serving students in the fall of 2015, our ability to deliver outcomes at an affordable cost puts us in a position to grow quickly. We continue to expand the number of high school partners we work with and will soon begin partnering with postsecondary institutions across the city. Follow the links below to help fuel our expansion.

NIKKI
“As a first-generation college student, statistically, I shouldn’t have the seat at the table I currently occupy. It is because of the quality education I received and the network I became a part of, that I have the life I wanted. I am driven to do this work to ensure our students can lead the life of their choosing, rather than one with limited options based on limited access and limited opportunity.”
