TGR Foundation and Stand Together have partnered to develop robust, career-connected educational opportunities for youth with a feedback-driven measurement system. Understanding the diverse ways in which youth learn has the potential to improve wraparound services, bolster outcomes and maximize impact. This partnership aims to ensure more youth from under-resourced communities enter adulthood with the talents, foundational, skills, and knowledge to attain their desired career, and maximize their potential.
Driving Transformation at the Intersection of Work & Learning
Education can better serve its purpose if we shift away from an overemphasis on degree attainment to a focus on individualized growth and lifelong learning. Skills are becoming obsolete more quickly and on-the-job upskilling and reskilling of the existing workforce are needed by companies to attract talent.
Stand Together philanthropic community partners are driving innovations in postsecondary education to help people discover what they are good at and give them opportunities to develop and apply those skills. Partners include innovative training providers, hybrid colleges, and other social change entrepreneurs that help learners unlock their potential to foster career growth. For companies, we aim – through our partners – to help modernize your talent practices, make gains in how you recruit, and hire and grow talent.
The TGR Learning Lab has helped me try new things, especially being in a safe space where I wasn’t afraid to fail at something or learn how to get better at something. I am so thankful for all the amazing teachers and mentors I’ve had, and all the amazing classes I’ve been able to take.

Stand Together partners with social entrepreneurs to remove the barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential. Across the Stand Together community, we are working to transform the system of education to one that helps learners discover their unique talents and interests, develop their skills, and apply their knowledge to live a life of meaning and purpose.
Every learner is unique. Today’s postsecondary education environment should offer a diversity of options that reflect individual needs and preferences.
