King County Promise addresses systemic barriers to access and completion for young people in King County who have historically been underserved.

PSCCN is deeply grateful to the members of the Refinement Phase, a group of 70+ staff, students and representatives from across King County's educational and community support system who have been engaged in the Refinement Phase of King County Promise since November 2019.
We hope you are enjoying a bit of rest and have a chance to reset before the 2020-21 school year officially begins!
This summer, PSCCN is reflecting on our work, seeking feedback from our partners (thank you to all who completed our recent survey!), and mapping our plan for 2020-21.
Jazzlynn Jefferson is a second-year Master of Public Administration student at the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington. She was born and raised in Delaware then moved to Seattle to pursue her master's degree. Jazzlynn is passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion work within the education field. Her operating philosophy is that the obtainment of college degrees increases one's likelihood of being successful.
We are excited to share brand new College Knowledge: Student Lessons and Family Workshops, developed collaboratively by the College and Career Leadership Institute, Community Center for Education Results, UW GEAR UP Achievers, and UW Dream Project.
We here at PSCCN wish our district and college partners the best, as we all work kick off this new academic year as best we can. We know under normal circumstances this is a stressful time of year for everyone, much more so now while navigating a shift to remote learning, and also juggling the social, political, and personal challenges that this year has brought us. We hope that we are able to embody the same resolve you have displayed over the past several months in order to better support you over this upcoming year.
Gear Up is recruiting college students for remote tutoring positions for middle and high schools in South King County. Current College students and recent graduates are encouraged to apply. Click this link to show interest.
