We are excited to be part of the launch of the National Partnership for Student Success (NPSS), a diverse coalition that connects nonprofits, school districts, state and local education agencies, federal agencies, philanthropy, and national and community organizations to support increased access to and implementation of student support programs, provide technical assistance and research to enhance program effectiveness, and help to recruit AmeriCorps members and volunteers to the effort.

All students deserve the opportunities and the support they need to succeed. Despite the heroic efforts of schools, educators, and families, the pandemic exacerbated educational and mental health challenges and widened long-standing inequities and opportunity gaps.

To address these challenges, the President is calling for Americans to become tutors, mentors, success coaches, post-secondary transition coaches, and wraparound/integrated support providers. In pursuit of this goal, the NPSS will focus on these five key, evidence-based areas to support the needs of students both in and out of school.

“One factor that plays a significant role in the long-term success of youth is the presence of trusted adult mentors,” says Paul Caccamo, Founder & CEO of Up2Us Sports. “We are excited to be part of this initiative to provide coaches to support youth’s success on and the field through our nationally recognized AmeriCorps program.”
