JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — Teton Literacy Center (TLC) announced it will partner with the Ellbogen Foundation through the Graduate: All Students Successful grant.
The Ellbogen Foundation board dedicated financial resources in late 2021 to invest in grantee partners across the state to help construct or strengthen community capacity around postsecondary student success. The goals of the grant align with TLC’s efforts to eliminate the achievement gap in Teton County. Teton Literacy Center will receive $62,000 annually for the next three years to lead this community initiative.
The grant will allow TLC to better implement and sustain strategies as part of a larger systemic design that:
- align goals and services in response to the needs of children and youth to advance the well-being and success of students
- strengthen the services and supports necessary for more students, especially students who are vulnerable, disadvantaged, have experienced trauma or have a disability, to complete high school with a diploma
- increase the capacity of students who do graduate to succeed in their first year of postsecondary education/training or their first year of employment.
