Events

Every student begins their high school journey with big questions: Who am I? What do I want to do with my life? How can I change the world? At Achieve Twin Cities, we provide one-on-one, personalized support as young people seek answers and chart a path to the future.

Through expert guidance and hands-on opportunities, we help students build the skills, confidence and clarity they need for meaningful, life-sustaining careers.

This year's annual celebration, Join the Journey, isn't just about hearing the story. You’ll be part of it, connecting directly with students as they share their experiences, milestones and plans for the future.

Join business, education, and community leaders for an evening celebrating our mission to inspire and equip Twin Cities young people for careers, college, and life — and take the next step in your own journey to support the young people in our community.

Join us for a journey you won’t forget.
