Graduation Coach Campaign, Philadelphia Mayor's Office of Education

Mission Statement

The Graduation Coach Campaign is an initiative of the Philadelphia Mayor's Office of Education that seeks to increase educational attainment by engaging adults in students' lives. Rather than providing intensive programming, this initiative is an awareness and information-sharing campaign that equips adults with information, strategies, and resources through a variety of channels. The Graduation Coach Campaign seeks to increase high school graduation rates and post-secondary educational attainment in Philadelphia. As a larger vision, the GCC seeks to encourage a culture shift in which every adult feels socially responsible for the educational attainment of students, and in which information about how to succeed in education becomes common knowledge in communities.
