Partnerships & Initiatives
CSF’s impact is amplified by partnering with schools, school districts, state agencies and other organizations committed to educational attainment. We recognize that we are stronger together and work to continually learn, share our knowledge and harness the power of our networks and communities.
Postsecondary Readiness and Enrollment on the Peninsulas (PREP)
CSF is a core partner in Postsecondary Readiness and Enrollment on the Peninsulas (PREP), a comprehensive, cross-sector regional partnership that aims to help students continue their education and career training after high school. This three-year initiative is supported by the Gates Foundation’s Horizons Regional Grant Program and coordinated by the West Sound STEM Network.
Regional College Access Managers (RCAMs)
Formerly Washington College Access Network (WCAN), RCAMs lead the college readiness efforts in Washington. This encompasses increasing FAFSA/WASFA completion rates and raising awareness of College Bound. We provide training, tools, resources and technical assistance to school staff and community-based practitioners tailored to fit each individual school, district and community.
We give practitioners the tools and information they need to promote a mindset that postsecondary education is attainable for all.
Washington Passport Network
Washington Passport Network is a statewide collective impact initiative committed to supporting students from foster care, unaccompanied homeless youth, and the adult professionals they rely on. We provide information, knowledge and tools to improve practices and student outcomes.
If you are a professional who supports students from foster care or unaccompanied homeless youth in gaining access to, persisting within, or completing post- secondary education in Washington state, we consider you a member of the Washington Passport Network.
We empower members of the Washington Passport Network by arming them with information, knowledge, and tools to improve their student-support practices and student outcomes. We facilitate networking and relationship-building among members of the Washington Passport Network so they can best serve students in their post-secondary journey.
College Success Foundation staff lead the Washington Passport Network in partnership with the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC).
MENTOR Washington
MENTOR Washington is a public-private partnership founded in 2004 as a source of support for the hundreds of mentoring organizations across our state.
MENTOR Washington’s mission is to promote, support and expand quality mentoring that fosters positive youth development, academic success, and job and career readiness. We provide capacity-building services, training and consulting for mentoring programs and mentors across the state. Research shows that mentoring, when done well, yields improvements in mental health, academic outcomes and behavior.
