National Alignment
We are one of nearly 70 partnerships that are part of the National StriveTogether Network, utilizing their evidence-based framework to enhance community well-being, empower individuals from early childhood through their careers, and encourage sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
StriveTogether has set a national goal to put 4 million more young people (up to age 35) on a path to economic mobility by 2030.
StriveTogether, utilizes a Theory of Action™ to support networks like RMP as they build the civic infrastructure necessary to transform systems. The Theory of Action provides progressive milestones that inform necessary collaboration of cross-sector leaders from systems like education, housing, health care, and more to get better results for youth and families. RMP is currently designated as a ‘Systems Change’ community. Receiving the ‘Systems Change’ designation signifies that our network has demonstrated compelling evidence and success in reshaping policies, practices, resource allocation, and power dynamics.

Where We Work
We are a place-based partnership* working in the heart of the north Denver metro region, which includes Adams County, the City of Arvada, the City of Aurora, and the City and County of Broomfield.
This region is one of the fastest growing regions in Colorado, having grown its population by 19% over the past 10 years, with no sign of slowing down. It is inclusive of both suburban and rural areas, and is home to over a million community members and growing.
*A Place-based partnership is a collaborative effort addressing specific challenges or opportunities within a particular geographic area or community that works within the context of a specific location to implement initiatives, programs, or strategies aimed at improving the well-being and development of that area.
Shared Regional Target
RMP has set an ambitious target to ensure an additional 71,000 children and young people (up to age 35) who are not currently meeting Cradle to Career milestones, achieve these critical steps for upward mobility.
Toward this, our 2030 Strategic Plan will guide us through this initial ‘RESILIENCY PHASE’, which aims to get us back to the rate we were at prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are measuring our progress through the improvement of the metrics that we know indicate if someone is on a path to being economically and socially mobile.
