Commit Partnership

The Commit Partnership is supported by a dedicated team of 70+ professionals committed to lifting community voices to achieve our shared goals. Believing that talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not, our team partners with over 200 organizations to drive economic mobility for every North Texas student through equal access to quality education.

Together, the Partnership cultivates a collaborative educational ecosystem across school systems, higher education institutions, city, county, and state governments, foundations, non-profits, employers and workforce agencies.

The Partnership believes that through our collective actions, Dallas County, which is the 8th largest county in the United States and educates 10% of Texas and 1% of the nation's students, can be an inclusive and prosperous region where economic opportunity is shared equitably rather than predicted by race, place and socioeconomic status.

Our Partnership's 'true north' goal is that by 2040, at least half of all 25-34 year old residents, irrespective of race, will earn a living wage. To increase living wage attainment, we must equitably increase educational success aligned with high demand jobs, maximizing the cumulative impact from providing a quality early education to ensuring that every student graduates high school ready for college, career, and/or military and able to accesses and completes a strong postsecondary education.
