RMP has set an ambitious target to ensure that 71,000 more children and young people up to age 35 achieve Cradle to Career milestones critical for upward mobility by 2030 who would otherwise not reach these milestones. This target is not just a number—it represents our commitment to transforming lives and strengthening our community.
To achieve this, we estimated and established targets for each Cradle to Career Outcome, focusing our efforts where they matter most and addressing any gaps.
- 4,880 MORE children are ready for kindergarten
- 9,315 MORE third graders read at grade level
- 9,891 MORE eighth graders at grade level in math
- 2,874 MORE high schoolers graduate
- 9,778 MORE young people enroll in a skill training or education program
- 9,940 MORE young people earn a skill or credential
- 24,444 MORE households are employed at a good wage
These are not the only metrics that matter across communities; there are many additional factors that impact a young person’s ability to experience upward economic mobility, which we continue to track through the RMP Scorecard.
By breaking down our overarching goal into annual milestones, we ensure continuous and measurable progress, steadily advancing towards our transformative target of impacting 71,000 young lives.
