Graduation Generation

Background Information.

Graduation Generation is a K-12 cluster-based initiative designed to better equip children, predominantly from low-wealth communities, succeed in school so that they graduate on time and are prepared for college and career. Graduation Generation brings Emory University together with Atlanta Public Schools and the nonprofit Communities In Schools as well as more than a dozen philanthropic and nonprofit organizations to achieve the following goals: 1) students achieve academically and attain high levels of performance; 2) students graduate on time with college and career plans in place; 3) students demonstrate self-determination and strive for personal development that includes leadership development; 4) students benefit from good health and safety necessary for academic success. Activities focus on the students, teachers, parents, and communities served by the Coan Middle School-Maynard Jackson High School Cluster in the Atlanta Public School System. Emory faculty, staff and students engage with Graduation Generation through their academic courses, co-curricular programs, research projects and volunteer service, employing both community engaged learning pedagogy and asset-based community development principles. Graduation Generation was launched with a $1 million gift from Emory alumnus trustee Rick Rieder 83B and is additionally funded by grants and individual gifts.
