2018–19 Impact Report to Contributors Access and Economic Mobility There was much to celebrate this past year at Rainier Scholars With our largest high school class to date earning record rates of acceptance to top-tier colleges around the country, our earlier-start scholars enrolling in record numbers into independent and highly-capable public school programs, academic achievement rising across all phases of our program and student leadership abounding at all ages, the Rainier Scholars mission focus on opportunity and access remained strong and clear We could not have done it without your support Access to opportunity matters We know it can launch lives of economic stability, leadership and influence in consequential decision-making arenas, and can be a conduit through which generational poverty can be broken and new pathways can be forged We lift each other up as a community In a 2014 National Bureau of Economic Research study, we learned that while, for middle and upper class students, access to highly selective colleges and universities has a negligible economic impact on their future lives, for lowincome Black and Latino students whose parents have limited education, the impact is profound and offers the best opportunity for moving from the bottom 20% of the economic ladder to the top 20% over one generation In other words, access matters most for those least likely to have it We know that it takes our entire community to create pathways of access and opportunity for our scholars The system is not set up for someone to overcome barriers of race, class and generational privilege without some intentional interventions, structure and programming to disrupt the status quo; the flow of the river must be interrupted to change course in any meaningful way Thank you for joining with staff, parents, school partners and the scholars themselves to carve out new pathways of opportunity for so many of our young people in this community As we head into our 20th anniversary year, may we celebrate the investment made by all, which will pay infinitely greater dividends for our community, city and region in the years to come Sarah Smith |
