COLLABORATIVE ACTION NETWORKS

The work of the Graduate Tacoma community-wide movement is organized and mobilized primarily by five Collaborative Action Networks. These Networks consist of more than 100 youth-serving organizations, institutions, and school district staff who meet regularly to address the indicators identified by community as success measures for Tacoma youth, cradle to career.

Early Learning & Reading Network

Dedicated to ensuring 100% enrollment in TPS preschools, meeting all six developmental skills entering kindergarten, and reading proficiently by the end of third grade.

Graduate Tacoma Advocacy Network

Dedicated to elevating the Tacoma-Pierce County voice to address impactful local, regional, and state policy issues that further our vision for a Tacoma where every child succeeds in school, career, and life.

Out of School & Summer Learning Network

Dedicated to increasing equitable access and enrollment in out-of-school and summer learning opportunities, collecting program provider data to drive targeted action, and making high-quality program training available to all community program providers.

Tacoma College Support Network
