Our Impact
In three decades’ time, Project Success has worked with 225,000+ students and counting: alumni who have deeper understanding of themselves and an authentically personal vision of their future.
With over 30 years of sustained data, Project Success’ DIG methodology inspires meaningful engagement from students that increases academic performance and sets the stage for the future:
- 90% of students report that Project Success helps them set goals and create a plan for after graduation.
- 96% of teachers report that Project Success helps students set goals for the future.
“Project Success works. It helps support our efforts in closing the achievement gaps. We see statistically significant positive gains in on-time graduation rates, attendance and most importantly grade point average, which is the greatest predictor of future success.”
– Eric Moore, Former Chief of Accountability, Research and Equity, Minneapolis Public Schools
