Youth-Serving Organizations
Local, state, and national organizations supporting the development, well-being, and success of students through evidence-based P-12 student supports such as tutoring, mentoring, success coaching, postsecondary transition coaching, and wraparound supports in their communities, regions, or nationwide.
The Partnership for Student Success engages a coalition of over 260 nonprofit organizations through a Supporting Champions network, through which youth-serving organizations, intermediaries, and organizations that support key education, youth development, and national service stakeholders share information and collaborate on shared challenges and opportunities.

Postsecondary Transition Coaches
Support postsecondary exposure, college search and fit/match, college application creation, financial aid applications, and navigation of postsecondary transitions.
Tutors
A form of teaching, one-on-one or in a small group, towards a specific goal. High-impact tutoring leads to months of additional learning gains for students by supplementing (but not replacing) students’ classroom experiences. High-impact tutoring responds to individual needs and complements students’ existing curriculum.
Mentors
With training and support, facilitate a variety of youth development and enrichment experiences, help youth explore and affirm their identity, provide navigational support around school-to-work transitions, and buffer against adversity in-school, out of school, and over the summer.
Student Success Coaches
Form diverse teams in systemically under-resourced schools to partner with teachers to provide integrated, relationship-driven social, emotional, academic, and youth development supports to enhance student outcomes and create positive learning environments at the classroom and whole school level during and after the school day.
Wraparound/Integrated Student Support Coordinators
Enable schools to build strong connections and systems with community health, mental health, and social service providers. Coordinators put school climate plans and multi-tiered systems of support into action.
