12 Plus
2023 - Present
12 Plus seeks to empower and equip all young adults to become agents of change within their communities. To do so, the organization implements holistic programming in partner high schools and with recent graduates that focuses on personal growth, post-secondary education, and career development. Through these programs, 12 Plus helps build a self-sustaining and celebratory culture around postsecondary success.
12 Plus equips each partner high school with 2-3 full-time staff to both develop a post-secondary-oriented school culture and to advise each member of the student body on their post-secondary plans. They do this through (a) in-class workshops, (b) a dedicated office for 1:1 advising called a PLUS Center, and (c) cultural events such as career fairs, panels and college-themed activities.
Arbor Rising is partnering with the 12 Plus management team on a number of deliverables, including:
Data dashboard — to refine 12 Plus’ data management system, allowing for more understanding, robust tracking, and measurement of the organization’s medium-term outcomes.
Financial modeling — to build a multi-year budget that includes the growth in schools and growth in program offerings.
