Supporting Champions
Supporting Champions are leaders from nonprofit organizations, philanthropy, schools and districts, institutions of higher education, state service commissions, and state and local agencies that inform and support the design, implementation, and learning of our work. Supporting Champions engage in working groups around problems of practice with other champion organizations, collaborate on webinars and events, and share information about the Partnership and related opportunities with their networks.
We invite you to join this network of over 250 organizations supporting our nation’s youth!
Champion Spotlight: The Literacy Lab
In April 2026, the Partnership for Student Success (PSS) had the opportunity to connect with Heather Jenkins, President & CEO of The Literacy Lab, to learn more about their current work and impact.
“This thought partnership helps us refine our strategy and think more deeply about sustainability—something every nonprofit is focused on right now.”
