EdTrust in Washington
Who We Are
The Education Trust in Washington advocates for an equitable education for historically-underserved students across the state. We believe in centering the voices of Washington students and families as we work alongside them for the better future they deserve.
What We Do
WE BRIDGE POLICY AND COMMUNITY: We seek to influence policy in Washington by engaging and equipping stakeholders, including youth, parents, educators, policymakers, thought leaders, community groups, civic and business leaders. Our goal is to drive an inclusive conversation about how every Washingtonian can benefit from an education system that better serves students of color and students from low-income backgrounds, pre-k through college and career.
We work alongside fierce advocates across Washington to:
- Draw attention to inequities in Washington by identifying and analyzing data that disproportionately impact underserved students across the state
- Equip partners with actionable and accessible tools to advance better educational outcomes and opportunities for underserved students
- Advocate for policies and practices that improve opportunities and outcomes for students of color, linguistically diverse students, students from economically-disadvantaged families, and students with disabilities
- Learn from and partner with students, families, and communities to build capacity and collective will for educational equity and justice
