Homegrown in Illinois
In today’s economy a postsecondary credential is crucial to attain social mobility and a family sustaining wage. Yet In Chicago, 69% of Chicago Public Schools students aspire to obtain a bachelor’s degree, but only 19% of those who attend open enrollment high schools are projected to get to college. As OneGoal’s founding region, we are here to empower students to not only pursue a postsecondary education but to realize their aspirations and earn their degrees.
“OneGoal helped me build academic skills to increase my college options and develop real life skills like resilience, goal seeing, and resourcefulness.”

Persevering Through Community
Whether trying to make friends in college or coping with the loss of her dad, DePaul University sophomore Huda Ganatra has leaned on the support of her OneGoal community in order to stay on track to earn her degree in Accounting.
“I can text my OneGoal class any time. They’re like a family of 20 people! I know that they’ll respond whenever I reach out.”
Building a Generation
of Graduates
Navigating the postsecondary landscape is complex. But after 15+ years working alongside educators, district leadership, and students, we know what works. With OneGoal, schools and districts make college + career planning an integral part of the high school experience.
