Celebrating Our 2025 Community Partners

Together, we’re building bright futures for Twin Cities students

Achieve Community Partners 2025 banner

Each year, our work at Achieve Twin Cities is strengthened by an incredible network of community partners who share our vision and help ensure that every young person has the opportunity, support, and confidence to pursue a meaningful, life-sustaining career.

We’re proud to celebrate our 2025 Community Partners — 39 outstanding Twin Cities companies, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations that went above and beyond during our 2025 fiscal year (July 2024 - June 2025) to support students in achieving their college and career dreams.

These partners invested their time, resources, and expertise in countless ways. They hired Step Up interns, volunteered at career fairs and Step Up mock interviews, made generous financial contributions and provided outstanding staff leadership on our board of directors. Through these generous resources, they opened doors for students to explore their interests, gain hands-on experience and build the confidence they need to thrive in school, work and life.
