Beyond 12

Beyond 12 is a national, tech-enabled nonprofit that provides first-generation students with the tools they need to graduate from college. It is designed for students from under-resourced communities who face unique challenges in higher education. By offering academic, social, and emotional support, Beyond 12 aims to increase the number of students who graduate from college and achieve meaningful employment.

Beyond 12 works by using an AI-powered analytics engine to predict which students need help and prescribes the right type of support. It shares actionable insights with partners to help them better support students for college, career, and life success. The organization's campus-customized mobile app, MyCoach, reminds students of activities, deadlines, and behaviors that lead to success, translating essential college tasks into actionable, bite-sized steps. Beyond 12 combines authentic, empathic coaching from near-peer coaches with adaptive technology to guide students to success.

Institutions and students who partner with Beyond 12 get the most value from its services. By providing personalized support and coaching, Beyond 12 helps students navigate the challenges of higher education and achieve their goals. This is particularly important for first-generation students who may not have the same level of support or resources as their peers. By working with Beyond 12, institutions can improve student outcomes and help close the economic divide.
