How We Work

The Austin 2030 Network formed to better organize and leverage the assets of our community on behalf of our children and youth. We work to drive transformational change in three ways:

Connecting and Convening

  • Nurture connections and build trust among education stakeholders and leaders along the cradle-to-career pathway.

  • Provide a forum to explore innovative ideas and engage in candid discussions of issues.

Investigating and Sense-Making

  • Look deeply and critically at some of our community’s most intractable and persistent education challenges.

  • Use data to promote shared understanding of issues, develop measurable common goals, and hold ourselves accountable for outcomes.

Accelerating Change

  • Leverage existing momentum and resources.

  • Align and better coordinate existing programs across Austin’s education ecosystem toward our common goal.

  • Support incubation and implementation of new initiatives.
