IT TAKES MORE THAN JUST GOOD GRADES
PREP-KC pioneered the MVA movement in 2016 and has continued to invest in opportunities for students in our urban school partnerships to attain these life-changing assets.
Graduates earning an MVA are more likely to enroll in college, persist to their second year, and graduate with a degree than peers without an MVA.
Connected 1,096 industry volunteers from 516 companies (352 from KC) to over 6,468 in person and 17,000 virtually in 22-23 school year.
In 2023, we have launched a first-of-its-kind 8th grade data science course that is is currently offered to over 650 8th graders from our footprint.
In 2022-23, we used our virtual connector platform to connect industry to classrooms from K-12. Over the 2384 sessions we hosted, over 17,000 students were impacted with 922 teachers engaging in the platform.
