EPC and our member organizations are part of StriveTogether, a national network of 70 peer organizations across 30 states that come together to tackle common challenges, learn from each other, and connect with myriad national best-practice partners, such as the Children’s Funding Project, Data Quality Campaign, Harvard Ed ReDesign Lab, Partners for Rural Impact, the William Julius Wilson Institute, and many more. Our partnership with StriveTogether ensures that Minnesota is among the organizations who are driving this work forward nationally. 

Closer to home, EPC is more than just our nine member organizations. We work with more than 600 partners, co-creating solutions and expanding impact beyond what individual organizations could accomplish on their own.

These 600-plus partners come from all sectors that affect the education, health, and economic outcomes of young people and their families, including schools, afterschool and summer programs, child care and early childhood education centers, hospitals and health centers, mental health providers, supportive and affordable housing institutions, local and county agencies, and more.
