12 Plus

12 Plus is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, PA, dedicated to increasing educational equity by creating inclusive school cultures that inspire academic achievement and empower students to pursue education beyond 12th grade. Through their holistic, comprehensive programs, they partner with Philadelphia and Camden high schools to provide college and career exploration opportunities, resulting in a 90% graduation rate with a dedicated post-secondary path and a 3 times higher college matriculation rate compared to similar neighborhood schools in Philadelphia.

12 Plus transforms school culture by focusing on three key areas: the environment, the message, and the people. They establish PLUS Centers as hubs of college, career, and academic resources, help students develop positive mindsets about learning, and provide daily advisors, tutors, and mentors called Fellows to address the individualized needs of students. With their whole-school model, they currently serve over 2,800 students annually across ten partner schools, making a significant impact on educational opportunities in the region.
