About Us

The Collective Blueprint is helping Memphis become a city where all young adults can thrive. Founded in 2017 to support the ~45,000 local young adults out of work and school, we are increasing socioeconomic mobility for young adults through:

Career-Focused Training: As Memphis’ go-to model for supporting opportunity youth, we facilitate young adults’ entry into in-demand careers via school-readiness training, ongoing coaching, monthly stipends, free therapy, internships, employment support, and lifelong access to a well-connected network. At our founding, our community college completion rate was at 5% with limited economic outcomes. We have a completion rate of 70%, and our alumni have achieved wage growth of 150% with zero debt. 

Innovation: The current employment and educational landscape is failing many young adults. We build coalitions to address inequities in these systems and transform the context of our city, including leading city-wide economic development planning and driving a visionary policy agenda with hundreds of nonprofit partners. 

Advocacy: We are igniting a movement toward economic justice in Memphis. We position young adults as leaders and advocates by training them in participatory democracy and supporting their campaigns for policy agendas conducive to sustainable change. 

Our work uniquely focuses on both individuals and the systemic issues that stifle economic mobility. We were founded by and for young adults, and we center those most proximate to these issues. In just five years, we have reached hundreds directly and impacted thousands more. This blueprint is becoming a model for national change.
