Mission: Graduate Community Report Released

Mission: Graduate is pleased to release Fired Up, the 60K Challenge Community Report, Telling our Story.

This complimentary report to the annual data report by the same name, which was released in summer of 2017, shows how the volunteer-led teams are carrying out strategies directly from our partners’ perspectives.
