AVID's mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. AVID can transform schools and districts so that students, particularly those students who are first generation college-goers, will be successful in college and a career. AVID believes that the most effective way to help schools is to improve the quality of their teachers’ instruction and school leadership. This builds sustainability, accountability, hope, and positive morale directly into the fabric of a school and ultimately an entire school district. And a marked improvement in a community’s schools creates ripples of benefit for the community. In these trying economic times, it is vital to involve the community in the success of its schools, and AVID is structured and delivered in such a way that the family created in the AVID classroom can be extended to a school, a district and a community of hope for the success of students.

Through the transformative power of these partnerships, we believe we can improve both students' and communities' educational experiences and outcomes.

Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them — in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion.
