Marin Promise Partnership

Today we are thrilled to share that we are welcoming Richard Raya to Marin Promise Partnership as our Chief Executive Officer. In this role, Richard will work closely with the Leadership Team to align around a common vision of an equitable education system, and will lead the backbone staff in supporting partners' system-change work. When the Partnership began searching for its new CEO, we were looking for a next-generation leader who would bring deep collaboration and systems-change expertise. Most importantly, though, was finding a leader who not only shares the same passion for achieving educational equity, but one who champions it. Richard is that leader. He is passionate about bringing the community voice to the table and has a collaborative approach to doing the work so we can continue to see positive impact in the education of all our children. Welcome to the Partnership, Richard! Read more about it in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gcWbMKYF

Last week, our Founder, Ann Mathieson, and incoming CEO, Richard Raya, attended the California Cradle-to-Career Retreat. Marin Promise Partnership is part of the California Cradle to Career Coalition. We work together to support children from before birth through high school, advocating for policies that help all kids succeed, regardless of their background or identity. Members of the coalition met in Pasadena to plan how to improve state policies using data and community feedback. They focused on a bill called "It Takes A Village," which aims to fund partnerships like ours to create lasting changes and more opportunities in our communities.

Big shoutout to our partner, Parent Services Project (PSP), for their amazing work in fostering early literacy with children and families! Early literacy is a key milestone in a student’s academic journey. Through their Raising a Reader Program, PSP is helping kids develop the literacy skills needed for future success. Their early literacy services support over 1,700 children and families. Thank you, Parent Services Project, for advancing the Partnership's Early Literacy goals.

We want to thank the Marin Community Foundation for awarding us a multi-year grant as part of its new Community Power Initiative. The impact of our collective work as a Partnership is evident in the improved outcomes we are seeing for students across the county. This funding is a testament to the power of our collaboration and will allow us to launch new projects and expand our current initiatives.
