Just released: our 2030 strategic plan

The Opportunity Blueprint: 2030
Transforming lives through education.
A newly developed 5-year strategic plan. Built by our community, for our community.
​​This plan is designed to both reduce generational poverty and transform the future of Muncie, Indiana's local economy. We are partnering to combine first-rate educational preparation, career exploration across one's lifelong learning journey, and comprehensive wrap-around supports to help students and their families thrive. According to research from Brookings Institute, the difference maker for Rust Belt communities like Muncie is purposeful agency in leveraging existing assets and having an innovative economic development strategy. This is our approach through the collective impact efforts of Cradle to Career Muncie.
