Overview
A regional network of cross-sector partners who work together to strengthen educational outcomes.
As a collective impact backbone team, North State Together maintains a delicate balance between the strong leadership needed to keep our counties united toward our common vision, and the invisible “behind the scenes” role that lets each county network own their own success. We know how important place-based solutions are in our rural communities, so our goal is to build capacity for leadership and creativity at the ground level to ensure that each county can set their own goals and priorities based on local needs.

Key Initiatives
SCAILE (Shasta College Attainment and Innovation Lab for Equity)
SCAILE (Shasta College Attainment and Innovation Lab for Equity) is a new center that has evolved from the work of the North State Together Talent Hub, Lumina Foundation’s Community Partnerships for Attainment, and the Innovation Awards at Shasta College.
SCAILE’s goal is to create a place where policy, practice, inquiry and applied research are integrated to foster innovation in educational attainment and the reduction of equity gaps with a spotlight on the changing dynamics of rural communities.
In many ways, SCAILE functions as a Strategy Lab to meaningfully support practitioners, stakeholders and researchers/scholars working to unite communities in pursuit of increased post-secondary attainment and the elimination of equity gaps in who pursues college, thrives once enrolled, and completes a credential.
