Bridge to High School

KID TALK

As a complement to the information shared through the Bridge to High School Data Exchange, the Kid Talk offers middle and high school staff the opportunity to connect with one another in person to: 1) Review 8th grade data and offer insights to guide student-specific planning for rising 9th graders, and 2) Launch ongoing working relationships between middle and high schools to continue supporting shared students throughout their freshman year.

The 2018 Kid Talk included the participation of nearly 30 middle and high schools. Check out some of the social media posts below:

VPP + Raise DC
is now Youth
Invest Partners

In June of 2000, Venture Philanthropy Partners opened it doors, spurred by the efforts of three founders who asked themselves,
“Could the business world provide a different, innovative approach to social change?”

In the years that followed, VPP quickly became a strategic hub for high-impact investments through deep and sustained partnerships with foundations, businesses, government agencies and school systems.

In April of 2020, VPP formed a strategic alliance with Raise DC to build an investment organization capable of driving alignment among communities, and nonprofit, business and regional leaders around systems change. VPP+Raise DC committed to call out and confront policies, practices and systems that contribute to racial inequity.

Today, we recognize the need to do more, be bolder, and act faster. Youth Invest Partners is a call to “dream big and do big” to drive change that will build better futures for Greater Washington youth today and in the days, months and years to come. Our new name and brand reflects energy and focus as we collaborate, innovate and transform.
