College + Career Advising

for All Students

A Class that Changes Futures

OneGoal currently serves nearly 14,000 Fellows directly through the OneGoal Program. Your support can help OneGoal reach thousands more students each year across the country.

Leaders Advancing Opportunity

The OneGoal Leadership Network helps school and district leaders reimagine postsecondary advising and close equity gaps for all their students. Through partnerships across the country, we’re working to transform college and career advising across entire states.

“OneGoal has shown me that there’s more than just one path you can pursue and you can do whatever you want if you push yourself to do it.”

Our unique approach, honed over nearly 20 years, prioritizes strong human relationships. And it’s proven to deliver real student impact. An independent study by the University of Chicago found that OneGoal students are up to 40% more likely to earn their postsecondary degrees than students from similar backgrounds.

Together, we can close the opportunity gap between students from low-income communities and their peers from high-income backgrounds. We work side-by-side with partner schools and districts to build their knowledge and capacity. The result is more equitable and effective support for all students.

$1,500 provides a student with a full year of OneGoal instruction, advising, and support proven to dramatically increase postsecondary success. Join us in creating a future where all students can define their own pathways.
