About Us

The Collective Blueprint is helping Memphis become a city where all young adults can thrive. Founded in 2017 to support the ~45,000 local young adults out of work and school, we are increasing socioeconomic mobility through :

• Career-Focused Training : As Memphis’ go-to model for supporting opportunity youth, we facilitate young adults’ entry into in-demand careers via school-readiness training, ongoing coaching, monthly stipends, free therapy, internships, employment support, and lifelong access to a well-connected network. At our founding, the local community college completion rate was around 5%, with limited economic outcomes. We now have a 70% completion rate, and our alumni have achieved 150% wage growth—with zero debt.
• Innovation : The current employment and education systems fail many young adults. We build coalitions to address inequities and transform the city’s landscape—leading citywide economic development planning and driving a visionary policy agenda with hundreds of nonprofit partners.
• Advocacy : We are igniting a movement toward economic justice in Memphis. We position young adults as leaders and advocates by training them in participatory democracy and supporting their campaigns for policy agendas that create lasting change.

Our work uniquely focuses on both individual support and systemic change. We were founded by and for young adults, and we center those most proximate to the challenges we address. In just five years, we have reached hundreds directly and impacted thousands more. This blueprint is becoming a model for national change.
