The Rocky Mountain Partnership is a group of decision makers and community members who are WORKING TOGETHER to ensure that every young person across our region has the opportunity to embark on a successful journey toward upward mobility.

Guided by a globally recognized framework and data, we strive to create impactful, large-scale solutions. We break down silos within existing efforts, optimize regional resources, and advance impactful policies and strategies.

Through diligent goal setting, data monitoring and accountability, we ensure significant and lasting change.

Shared Regional Target

0
Individuals on the path to economic and social mobility by 2030
  • An estimated 123,000 young people are NOT on a path to economic and social mobility.
  • If no action is taken, this number is expected to intensify even more by the year 2030.
Through the Resiliency Project, we are working to ensure 71,000 children and young people up to age 35, achieve critical Cradle to Career milestones by 2030, starting with 3,398 more in the 2024-2025 school year.

Our Strategies

We follow a collective impact approach, aligning our work with the national StriveTogether network, focusing on collaboration and accountability across sectors. Our strategies include:

Recruiting and Supporting Target Champions. Target Champions are key groups or organizations that set and commit to population-level goals aligned with at least one Cradle to Career milestone. They determine how many more children and young people will meet outcomes as a direct result of their efforts.

Launching and Supporting High Impact Projects (HIPs) HIPs are groundbreaking initiatives designed to address the root causes hindering children and young people from achieving success, from early childhood through to their careers. These projects fill the critical gaps in our collective efforts that no one organization can tackle alone to meet Cradle to Career milestones.

Advancing Policy Initiatives. This strategy is to advance policy initiatives that break down systemic barriers preventing children and young people from reaching Cradle to Career milestones. This can only be achieved by addressing key policy issues and seizing opportunities for transformative change at the organizational, local, state, and federal levels.
