Unlocking College Opportunity for All Students

OneGoal is working to create a world where all students can define their own future. Their classroom-based model ensures that postsecondary planning, preparation, and support are integral components of the high school experience. Additionally, OneGoal’s Leadership Network works to reimagine postsecondary leadership, supporting school district leaders to assess their current state, define a path to high-impact improvement, and move forward with expert guidance along the way.

Our Investment

Chicago Beyond’s $7.2 million investment strengthened OneGoal’s “deepened presence model,” allowing them to serve multiple student cohorts within a single school. This expansion enabled OneGoal to reach nine times more students across four high schools in Chicago. Since then, the model has continued to grow. By 2022-2023, OneGoal had extended its reach, serving over 15,000 students across 105 high schools in six regions nationwide.
