For over 23 years, Youth Invest Partners delivered long-term outcomes in the Greater Washington region.

We deployed management expertise and over $133 million in capital to 34 non-profits to strengthen executive leadership, to increase the capacity of local nonprofits, to bring together Collaborative Action Networks, and to foster cross-sector collaborations in our three core issue areas: Early Childhood Education, Career and College Readiness, and Boys and Young Men of Color.

We are pleased that our work continues and evolves under the management of other like-minded organizations:

  • The Student Well Being Data Project was completed by our longtime partner, Education Forward DC, and was implemented city-wide by the DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education. Education Forward DC has also continued to advance our programmatic work on Boys and Young Men of Color.
  • Our Early Childhood Education work through the Advancing Early Education Collaborative was completed with oversight from Martha’s Table.
  • DC Action has continued our Career & College Readiness work and integrated some of our Early Childhood Education work with theirs. DC Action leads the local stakeholder coalition of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading. It is also exploring the continuation of relationships between the District of Columbia and StriveTogether.

The support we received for over 23 years is most appreciated, and we are excited and thankful for those of you who continue to DREAM BIG. DO BIG. COLLABORATE DEEPLY. INNOVATE TIRELESSLY.
