Untapped Potential Project: UP2

The Untapped Potential Project (UP2) engages community partners—families, employers, labor leaders, and policymakers—in our mission to design, build, and operate high-performing private schools to serve low-income students in communities of color. These are career-focused schools that ensure each graduate is prepared for post-secondary educational pathways, and proficient in at least one employable technical skill.

Untapped Potential Project Approach

Community Engagement

We mobilize a broad, diverse, and influential coalition of stakeholders to demonstrate citizen demand for highly-effective, career-focused education pathways.

School Development

We educate and train students through a new network of tuition-free private CTE schools that provide rigorous academics, expert-level skills training, real-world work experiences, and placement into quality jobs.

Policy Change

We advocate for the state policy changes needed to accommodate and properly fund CTE training at the K-12 level through private schools.
