Discover how Commit Partnership collaborates with HSO, Microsoft, and DataKind to leverage vital, data-driven insights that influence legislation and funding decisions.

A coalition of more than 200 partners, Commit Partnership is a childhood education-focused community navigator and connector that works collaboratively to help solve the region’s biggest systemic challenges, including: improving early childhood education, preparing and retaining effective educators, and increasing post-secondary completion rates.
