Who We Are

WHO WE ARE

United for College + Career Success (UFCS) builds on the ideology that a collaborative community should be accountable for the success of their students beyond high school. As a direct result of UFCS’ efforts, bold actions have led to the development of proven and replicable support programs and a large-scale learner tracking system. UFCS uses research, technology, and real-time data as drivers of its mission to empower underserved learners to obtain a meaningful credential and/or career with upward mobility.

 

DEI + Social Justice

We are an inclusive organization that values the diversity of people, backgrounds, and perspectives. Check out our DEI + Social Justice statement and practice in detail below:
