Our Mission
EdTrust-West is committed to dismantling the racial and economic barriers embedded in the California education system. Through our research and advocacy, EdTrust-West engages diverse communities dedicated to education equity and justice and increases political and public will to build an education system where students of color and multilingual learners, especially those experiencing poverty, will thrive.
Our Impact
For over twenty years, EdTrust-West has served as a leading voice in advocating for educational equity in the state. Through our research, policy solutions, and community engagement, we provide a powerful voice that pushes our state’s institutions to make the changes necessary to best serve students of color.
We envision a California where education equity is baked into every policy decision, every student is set up for academic success, and an opportunity gap no longer exists for students of color, multilingual learners, and students from low-income communities.
What We Do
We champion the closure of achievement and opportunity gaps in TK-12 schools and higher education through legislative advocacy, partnering with educators, and conducting policy analyses. Our focus is on promoting equity in schools, colleges, and universities. By collaborating, developing capacity-building programs, and forming coalitions with education equity leaders and communities, we offer insights and evidence-based solutions for systemic change in education policies and initiatives.
