Alabama Possible is a statewide nonprofit organization that breaks down barriers to prosperity through advocacy, education, and collaboration. For nearly 30 years, they have transformed how people think and talk about economic opportunity and educational attainment in Alabama and beyond. Education is the road to a better life, and they work at the intersection of practice and policy to ensure all young people can pursue their education without sacrificing their economic futures. Their research-driven work equips policymakers, educators, and business leaders, along with students and their families, with tools and relationships to build a college-going culture. We all benefit when everyone has the opportunity to complete a valuable postsecondary credential, and programs make that possibility a reality.
