Our Model
The L.A. Compact has developed into a mature collective impact initiative with several collaborative workgroups and a multi-convener model. Each workgroup is facilitated by a neutral intermediary, which works to build consensus among partners, guide the adoption of new collaborative strategies, support aligned activities across sectors, utilize data for continual improvement and joint accountability for student success, pursue opportunities to leverage resources and new joint funding, and improve policies impacting student education and workforce outcomes.

In 2008, UNITE-LA launched the L.A. Compact, a bold commitment by cross-sector leaders in the L.A. region to close the education and workforce gaps caused by systemic inequities and racism. While initially formed as a collective response to a dropout crisis within LAUSD and to streamline student pathways between LAUSD, LACCD, and regional four-year institutions, the partnership grew in regional representation and scope over the past decade. As a neutral intermediary, the L.A. Compact has built trust tables transcending traditional siloes. As a result of our work, partners are developing strategies to align and improve education and workforce systems.
