About Us

For nearly 30 years, Project Success has been transforming thousands of students’ lives through a proven model of innovative experience learning.

Project Success motivates and inspires each student in every school we serve to dream about their futures, help them create a plan to get there, and give them the tools and support they need to achieve their goals.

Over the course of seven years — beginning in grade 6 and continuing through grade 12 — we engage students in-class through a facilitated curriculum and through local-to-global expeditions, arts programming, and skills-based certificates.

Founded in 1994, working with 200 students at North High School in Minneapolis, Project Success has grown to serve more than 15,000 Minneapolis students annually in 22 Minneapolis public schools. We serve all seven Minneapolis core high schools.

90% of high school students report that Project Success helps them think about their futures, set goals and create a plan for graduation.
