Braven
2019-2022
Braven empowers promising, underrepresented young people—first-generation college students, students from low-income backgrounds, and students of color—with the skills, confidence, experiences, and networks necessary to transition from college to strong first jobs.
Braven embeds within large public universities and partners with employers to build cutting-edge career education into the undergraduate experience for low-income and first-generation college-goers and provides students, who often feel disconnected from campus, with a network of supporters and sense of belonging.
Arbor Rising partnered with the Braven-Newark management team on a number of key deliverables, including:
Performance Management System – establishing roles, goals, and accountability targets for staff.
Tools and Standards – for recruiting, managing, and engaging the organization’s board of directors.
Growth Planning – scenario construction and analysis around program expansion / extension.
