Third-grade students excited to learn science at J.M. Ullom Elementary in Las Vegas. The school is a teaching site for members of the Nevada Teacher Corps.
As a leading education nonprofit since 1997, we have combined insight, courage, and action to conceive scalable solutions that address complex challenges from the classroom to the systems level. Today, we work side by side with educators, system leaders, and communities across 39 states and more than 6,000 districts nationwide to reach ambitious goals for student success.
Our vision pushes beyond school walls, catalyzing cross-sector collaboration. Together, we must build a future in which public education can truly make it possible for all young people to thrive in life, pursue their chosen careers, and shape our democracy.
We work to ensure that every young person has multiple paths not only to academic success but to the other opportunities and experiences that lead to economic and social mobility. We invite everyone working with young people to partner with us to apply innovative solutions and strategies that will improve life outcomes for our youth.
After partnering with TNTP, teachers and leaders report feeling better equipped to improve instructional practices and increase student engagement. Students receive stronger teaching, challenging assignments, and high-quality instructional materials. And the adults around them are more likely to hold them to high standards—a key predictor of academic success.

A strong academic foundation is the first, most important step to economic and social mobility. In this report from our Paths of Opportunity series, we study a set of diverse, trajectory-changing schools that consistently help young people catch up. We explore their focus on belonging, consistency, and coherence, and offer guides for other schools and systems to apply their best practices.
Our Block is an online mapping tool of trusted community resources so educators, counselors, and social workers can help families access what they need.
TNTP launches Paths of Opportunity, a new research series that explores how young people’s experiences can become engines of mobility.
We’ve been telling students that school prepares them for the future. Unfortunately, that’s a myth.
