Single parents have shaped many of our lives. Together, we can transform theirs.

Our Model:

RTB’s model brings to life its mission and vision. We are a 2Gen program founded by a 2Gen team and we place single-parent students’ lived experiences at the center of our work, supporting the wellness of both parent and child simultaneously. Through targeted programming and strategic partnerships, our approach creates opportunity and economic mobility. Learn more.

At Raise The Barr, we invest in the future of single-parent students and their families.

Single parents are resourceful, resilient, hard-working, and creative. They are always on duty, with little reprieve. And without the right resources, they often face barriers that others do not.

We partner with single-parent students and their children based in California and Minnesota to remove these barriers to imagine and create vibrant futures.
