Serving the Underserved
OneGoal students (Fellows) have postsecondary ambitions but face compounding challenges that limit their options. We prioritize students in the academic middle who are often overlooked by other interventions.
OneGoal Program
The OneGoal Program is a three-year model that starts as a class in high school and continues with support through the first year of postsecondary. We partner with districts and high schools to ensure postsecondary planning, preparation, and support aren’t treated as extracurricular activities, but as integral components of the high school experience for all students. Our results show that this enables more students to enroll and succeed in their chosen postsecondary pathway.

“Our national higher-education system clearly needs serious reform. But while we’re figuring out how to accomplish those reforms, we need to do a lot more right now to help students succeed in the system as it exists today. OneGoal is one of the best models I’ve seen for providing that help.”
Why OneGoal
Many Paths
We coach students to use a critical lens to choose the path that aligns with their career aspirations and unique contexts.
Strong Relationships
Teachers form deep connections and become champions for their students. Students form strong bonds and support one another. Each OneGoal teacher (Program Director) and class (cohort) is supported by OneGoal staff who provide ongoing coaching and training.
Data-Informed
We provide teachers and students with real-time data and feedback that helps them stay on track.
Support After High School
Data shows that students who succeed in their first year of postsecondary are significantly more likely to complete, so our model includes support during that critical year.

Components of the
Classroom Experience
The curriculum, training, and resources that comprise the OneGoal Program model are continuously reviewed to ensure we’re keeping up with educational research and best practices, and utilizing the data and feedback we’ve collected over more than a decade of implementation. Highlights of our model include:
- Pillars of Fellow Success: We’ve done extensive research to identify the social-emotional domains that are most critical to success in college and beyond. These Pillars of Fellow Success are woven throughout our curriculum.
- Support in the Postsecondary Process: While supporting Fellows to decide what they will pursue after high school, our model intentionally focuses on GPA growth, test preparation, and personal statements to ensure students will be able to compete for a spot in the institution best aligned to their dreams and needs.
- High-Quality College Options: We work closely with postsecondary institutions that are committed to recruiting our Fellows and providing support to ensure their success.

What Our
Communities Say
Staffing a high school with enough quality postsecondary counselors to match the demand in comprehensive high schools is tough. OneGoal bridges that gap; the program identifies awesome teachers who want to take on more and equips them with the knowledge and skills it takes to offer the advice kids deserve.”

I’m excited that we have resources for not just high-performing students, but for those that hadn’t yet realized their potential when they got to us. It provides this set of equity and access that’s tough to reach. That’s pretty meaningful.”

With OneGoal we’re able to actually prepare kids for college—and keep up with them while they’re in college—to really level the playing field for everybody.”
