TCSN-Three-year Strategic Plan Survey |
Introduction:
The Tacoma College Support Network (TCSN) is a collaboration of organizations that promote college, career and citizenship readiness for all Tacoma students by encouraging higher two-year and four-year college enrollments of high school graduates. The TCSN's emphasis is to aid students who have limited access to resources and opportunities, with special focus on low-income and under-represented students.
In 2006 a few concerned parties began to meet to discuss how to continue the momentum of the Achievers Scholarship program for low-income Tacoma Public School students once the Gates Foundation ended its scholarship support to TPS graduates in 2010. Since that time this group has changed focus a number of times and has grown to include a large group of community members.
With the group/network now moving forward in a number of key areas in support of Tacoma’s youth, we believe it is time to establish a Three Year Strategic Plan. Before we begin drafting the plan however, we would like get your thoughts on what the future of this network should look like.
