Mission

We work to inspire and support students and educators and connect schools with their communities to help kids imagine, plan and prepare for successful futures.

What We Do

At the Consortium, our goal is for every child to graduate from high school with a formal, viable plan for their future. A plan that answers three questions:

Who am I?
Who do I want to be?
How do I get there?

Our programs provide students with opportunities to explore careers and build skills so that they can make choices about their future that fit with their interests, abilities, and goals.

We also work with educators, helping them to develop the knowledge and skills they need to ensure their students are prepared for success in post-secondary education, careers, and life.

The Consortium serves more than 40 school districts across western Pennsylvania through initiatives strategically designed to strengthen and broaden school leadership, engage community and empower students. In all of our work, we relentlessly advocate for excellence and equity in public education for all students.
