How we help students connect to their purpose

For 30 years, Project Success has helped students connect to their purpose through a proven method of experiential learning called DIG – Dream. Ignite. Grow. Our programs have been proven effective in helping, students Dream Big, Ignite Possibilities and Grow Exponentially into inspired individuals ready for success. Currently, we work with every 6-12th grade student in the Minneapolis Public School District.

The four components of our program are Workshops, Arts, Expeditions, and Institute.

Commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility:

In all Project Success programming we work diligently to break down barriers to access for students through:

  • Free Programs: The majority of our programs are offered free of cost. Programs with costs associated offer scholarship opportunities, ensuring no student is turned away due to cost.
  • Transportation: We provide access to transportation to and from our programming for those who need it, thanks to an incredible team of volunteer drivers, contractors, and PS staff.
  • Staffing: Project Success Facilitators attend Expeditions with students, integrating PS curriculum throughout the experience and being a welcoming, familiar face for students.
  • Individualized Curriculum: Our staff build curriculum that is tailored to each individual student, mindful of their abilities, spoken languages, and more.
  • Childcare: For Theater Experiences, we help to ensure families can attend evening and weekend performances by providing childcare to those who are too young to attend a particular show.
