ENABLING A WORLD WHERE HIGHER EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

Goal Beyond catalyzes multi-sectoral capital to boost academic success and unlock durable economic mobility for learners

Who We Are

Goal Beyond is non-profit organization, established in San Diego, CA in 2021, with a commitment to higher education access and sustainable economic mobility options for all.

We build high-impact, collaborative partnerships dedicated to data-driven, evidence-based strategies that empower learners along the course of their academic and professional careers.

We believe that the pursuit of higher education, career advancement, and economic mobility are fundamental rights that should be available and accessible to all irrespective of the challenges that may arise.

Our Mission

To create the ecosystem enabling all learners to access a quality education and employers to source talent in a rapidly evolving labor market

For learners, the finish line is not reached at graduation. It is simply the beginning of their professional path.

Goal Beyond works to understand, measure, and actively improve tangible outcomes beyond degree completion.

Many graduates experience obstacles in obtaining their degree or changing learning tracks, transferring institutions, understanding how their program will translate into real-life earnings, and a myriad of other academic and workforce-related challenges.

Our unique approach - leveraging our extensive partnerships and research - provides sustainable solutions to address access and economic mobility issues that affect learners at the top and bottom of the academic funnel

Empowering learners throughout their academic journey to a path of durable economic mobility underpins our three core values

IMPACT-DRIVEN: Data, rigor, and analytics are woven into our ethos.

INCLUSIVE: Community, diversity, and engagement are constantly in focus.

TRANSPARENT: Open communication, integrity, and trust are fundamental to our work.

Technical Assistance

We design, deploy, and administer innovative programs along the entire learner continuum to support academic and post-graduation success.

Our cross-sectoral partnerships deepen our reach to target learner populations with the greatest need while allowing for flexibility and scalability.

Capacity Building

Goal Beyond acts as a force multiplier leveraging philanthropic capital, high-performance partnerships, and longitudinal research to develop high-impact programming for a wide-range of learner groups.

With our outcomes-based models, Goal Beyond identifies root causes and designs toolkits, resources, and advisory services that empower learners.
