About OneGoal
OneGoal transforms postsecondary advising and support so that every student can define their own future. Together with our partners, we’re building a movement to close the opportunity gap. We work side-by-side with partner schools and districts to build their knowledge and capacity. The result is more equitable and effective support for all students. Our unique approach, honed over 15 years, prioritizes strong human relationships. And it’s proven to deliver real student impact (https://www.onegoalgraduation.org/impact/impact-results/) . 81% of OneGoal high school graduates enroll in a postsecondary institution, and 73% of those students persist one year after high school graduation.
