Regional Target Champions

Target Champions

Target Champions play a critical role in helping young people achieve Cradle to Career milestones. Target Champions are groups or organizations that set and commit to specific, measurable goals aligned with at least one Cradle to Career milestone. They determine how many more children and young people will achieve these outcomes as a direct result of their efforts.

Target Champions come from diverse sectors, including nonprofits, coalitions, local governments, school districts, higher education, businesses, and neighborhood groups. These organizations directly impact Cradle to Career outcomes and take responsibility for driving measurable progress toward our shared goal of helping 71,000 more young people succeed by 2030.

By setting and working toward outcome-level goals, Target Champions ensure their efforts have a tangible impact on young people’s success. Each organization’s commitment accelerates progress across the region, helping more youth thrive.
