Education Partnerships Coalition of Minnesota

The Education Partnerships Coalition of Minnesota (EPC) leverages the collective power of nine cradle-to-career, education-to-workforce, community-based member organizations across the state of Minnesota. EPC member organizations are all members of the StriveTogether national network.

Our core work is supporting local, regional, and state-wide advocacy and action to improve systems so that they better support children, youth, and families – especially those experiencing poverty, facing racism, or otherwise marginalized – in achieving sustained upward economic mobility.

We work in deep collaboration with elected officials and other leaders, public agencies, non-profit organizations, businesses, youth and parent/caregiver advocates, and others toward a future where Minnesotans’ income, wealth, place, and race are not determinants of their life outcomes and well-being.

Our mission is to unite Minnesota cradle-to-career community initiatives to ensure all children and youth succeed.

Our vision is:

• Our children succeed in school and in life.
• Our communities thrive.
• Our state is equitable and prosperous for ALL.

We operate under the fiscal sponsorship of the Greater Twin Cities United Way.
