Going for the Gold 90 x 20
Level Up: Be the Change you Want to See
Arrgghh You Ready To Level Up and Be the Change You Want to See?
Our Going for the Gold mission is to increase graduation rates and reduce dropout rates by supporting all students in reaching their full potential in school, at home and in the community.
Since the G4G inception, all stakeholders (parents, students, community members, businesses, schools and political leaders) have been empowered with research-based strategies that ensure academic student success through the connection of the four G4G pillars (Diversity/Cultural Responsiveness, Build Relationships/District Culture, Health and Wellness, and Graduation 90x20 Focus on Attendance). Each year as our sponsorships increase and we build capacity with volunteers, we will continue to build the model with strategies to support the homes, schools and the communities under the pillars.

Can we count on you to take the pledge and support our 90% graduation rate by 2020 and beyond and increasing student attendance?
Attendance is key to student success - September is Attendance Awareness Month, and studies show that there is a direct link between absenteeism and high school dropouts.

The G4G Youth Summit scope of work for the target group will provide essential assistance through a linkage of resources and collaboration with community agencies.
The event will include building relationship activities to foster educational promotion by removing barriers in the home, school and community for youth and to strengthen families for the targeted students (rising 8th -12th graders) and providing information of support systems connected to the four pillars. Our team will target schools (with principals approval) for this activity.
