AchieveMpls provides you with the opportunity to positively impact the lives of Minneapolis students. 87 percent of all dollars raised funnel directly back into the classrooms, supporting our youth as they succeed in school and become productive members of society.
An undesignated gift allows AchieveMpls to use funds where needed most. Every gift to AchieveMpls represents a gift to our total mission of galvanizing community resources to help all Minneapolis Public School students succeed in school and become productive members of society. For example:
* $100 provides students with tools to be successful in the classroom through school supply drives.
* $250 sends students on an enriching field trip.
* $500 provides study skills education for students, helping to prepare them for a successful education.
* $1,000 ensures that one high school student has a thoughtful plan for life after high school.
* $2,000 provides a Minneapolis student with the opportunity to explore a career and gain valuable work skills in a professional environment.

A cornerstone of the STEP-UP Summer Jobs program are industry-specific pipelines, designed to educate and engage high school students within a professional field of their choosing. Tyann Christopher, a 2008 graduate from Edison High School, has set her sites on law and is using STEP-UP to give her a head start. Placed at the law firm Briggs & Morgan for the summer, Tyann said “STEP-UP has provided me with a summer job that means something. I am going to work every day to do something I am interested in.” This fall, Tyann will begin her undergraduate studies at Concordia University in St. Paul. One day, she hopes to practice family law because she is passionate about helping youth and feels that children are the most vulnerable group within the legal system.
