Every student deserves the opportunity to discover their potential, earn a meaningful credential, and build a future filled with possibility.
We are building a Georgia where talent, not zip code or family income, determines opportunity.
Today, nearly 60% of jobs in Georgia require a college degree or postsecondary credential, yet only 29% of Metro Atlanta students are expected to earn one within five years of high school graduation. For students from low-income communities, the path to opportunity is often shaped by barriers beyond their control.
The challenge is not a lack of potential. It is a lack of access to the guidance, relationships, and support that help students persist from high school through postsecondary success.
Together with school districts, educators, employers, foundations, and community leaders, we are changing that. We are equipping students with the tools, confidence, and support they need to earn credentials that lead to meaningful careers, economic mobility, and brighter futures.
When students succeed, Georgia gains a stronger workforce. Employers gain skilled talent. Families gain greater economic stability. Communities grow stronger.
Together, we are building a future where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we are building Georgia’s future.

OneGoal walks alongside students, helping them every step of the way... They provide consistent exposure to valuable postsecondary and career opportunities, in-class guidance, and help students make informed decisions about their paths after high school. OneGoal is a difference maker for so many students.
OneGoal Fellows are brimming with drive to pursue the college or other postsecondary program that will lead them to their dream career and life. All they need is a hand navigating the application and enrollment system. This is where OneGoal steps in.
I went in thinking that OneGoal was just another class, and came out with so much more. Limiting myself—thinking anything I wanted or needed was too out of reach—stopped. Being able to insert myself into different spaces and have my own voice and have my own experience is enlightening. Now I have a plan and support.
We partner with 17 high schools across the city to integrate postsecondary planning into the school day. Together with district leaders, school principals, Achieve Atlanta and Learn4Life we are working to improve economic mobility among first-generation college students from low-income communities.
We provide OneGoal’s Postsecondary Culture Survey to districts in Georgia, supplementing traditional metrics with real-time feedback from students about the postsecondary culture.
Without OneGoal, I don’t think I would be where I am in my college and career pathway. They gave me so much guidance and helped me assess the many career options I have.
