Our Networks
UP Partnership’s systems change networks are communities of leaders who share a common focus on the three equity pillars of healing, access and voice, and advance that focus through annual events, social gatherings and shared practices.
How We Do Our Work
Working with 175 partners, we are committed to utilizing data and aligning resources to create equitable systems and ensuring all young people in Bexar County are ready for the future.
Using a collective impact model, we bring leaders together to design solutions for students. Each partner brings their own resources, expertise and data to make sure we look at the full picture of a student’s experience when making policies. Our policy and strategy decisions are based on shared data that’s broken down by race, ethnicity, gender, geography, and income.
Shared Community Vision
People from various sectors work together in an agreement to tackle the same issues, with the same results in mind.
Evidence-Based Decision Making
Our policy and strategy decisions are based on shared data that’s broken down by race, ethnicity, gender and income.
Collaborative Action
We come together to collectively provide solutions. Each sector brings its own resources, expertise and data to make sure we look at the full picture of a student’s experience when making policies.
Investment and Sustainability
UP Partnership’s role is to organize sectors who have the same goals, but different approaches. We facilitate conversations and propel action by keeping the lines of communication between sectors open.
Talent is Equally Distributed but Opportunity is Not
In Bexar County, our young people’s futures are being shaped by where they live, how much money their parents make, and what category of race or ethnicity they fall into. Our data sheds light on that disparity so that we can work as a partnership to enact policy change that moves us closer to a future in which opportunity is equitably distributed.
