Our Mission
Since 1994, Project Success has been connecting students to their purpose through a proven methodology of experiential learning called DIG (Dream. Ignite. Grow.) Project Success currently works with more than 16,000 6th-12th grade students and their families in the Minneapolis and Mankato public school districts.
Our Mission Statement
Project Success motivates and inspires young people to dream about the future, helps them take steps to get there, and gives them the tools they need to achieve their goals.
Our Vision
Our vision is that every child entering middle school will graduate high school with a plan for their future and have the skills and confidence that will take them through the rest of their lives.
Our Values
The values that guide Project Success staff, volunteers, board, and partners.
Our Commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility
We are committed to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (I.D.E.A.). I.D.E.A. is embedded into our daily approach to our mission and to each of our actions, decisions, and plans.

DIG Methodology
Our DIG methodology inspires meaningful engagement from students that increases academic performance and sets the stage for their future. Over the course of seven years — beginning in grade 6 and continuing through grade 12 — we engage students through four program components: Workshops, Arts, Expeditions, and Institute.
