Northside Achievement Zone
We envision a prosperous North Minneapolis — where all children of color are healthy, secure, and academically successful, ultimately realizing their unlimited potential.
Northside Achievement Zone's Mission
The Northside Achievement Zone's (NAZ) mission is to end generational poverty and build a culture of achievement in North Minneapolis, where all low-income children of color graduate from high school college- and career-ready. We accomplish this through collaboration with parents, community organizations, and schools.
Northside Achievement Zone's Core Values (NAZ F.A.C.T.s)
'Focusing on Success for Our Children and Families;
We commit to doing whatever it takes so that Northside children of color realize their unlimited potential academically and in life. We do this by partnering with schools demonstrating an ability to accelerate academic outcomes and community-based organizations that effectively provide whole-family wrap-around supports. Parents support their children and actualize their families’ dreams by receiving partner services in addition to NAZ coaching, parenting education, and leadership training.
'Advancing Racial Equity for All'
We commit to ending all forms of race-based disparities by first healing our own racialized trauma, understanding the impact of this type of trauma on others, ensuring equitable policies & practices, dismantling systems of oppression and privilege, and working towards wellness in our own minds and bodies alongside our families, schools and community.
'Creating A Trusting Village'
We commit to creating trusting relationships with all our parents, scholars, co-workers, and collaborative partners as a key means of removing barriers and identifying opportunities for families and children to end multi-generational poverty. We earn trust by having integrity in all we do, being reliable in our follow-through, and exhibiting competency in the tasks at hand. In addition, we commit to breaking down silos, having transparent communications, resolving conflicts, fostering fun, giving grace to others, and striving for excellence in all we do.
'Transforming Our Community Using Data and Learning'
We commit to hold each other accountable as team players to achieve breakthrough performance and results with children and families using data, innovation, compelling storytelling, on-going learning, and continuous improvement strategies– measuring our shared success by the achievements and well-being of Northside children and families.
