Change the Future with the Built to Last Collaborative The Built to Last Collaborative (BTLC) is a community-based organization established to remedy the achievement gap between students from the Ravenswood City Elementary School District ( East Palo Alto and Menlo Park ) and the Sequoia Union High District. The Built to Last Collaborative creates, supports, and works within what is called the "beloved community" in which people from all walks of life work together, side by side to increase high school graduation rates of young people at risk of failing to graduate from high school.
