ROC the Future is a collaborative community-wide initiative. Our mission is to promote alignment and focus community resources to improve the academic achievement of children in the City of Rochester.  ROC the Future is part of StriveTogether, a national network of communities supporting the success of every child from cradle to career through a focus on a common agenda, shared measurement, continuous communication and mutually reinforcing activities among all participants for collective impact, mobilizing resources, and increasing equity.

ROC the Future has four overarching goals:
• Every Child is School Ready
• Every Child is Supported
• Every Child is Successful
• Every Child is College and Career Ready

ROC the Future works through Collaborative Action Networks tasked with identifying appropriate measurements, goals, and detailed action plans to improve outcomes. ROC the Future is also committed to engaging parents, students, and the community in efforts to improve academic achievement.
