Who We Are

Our Work

Our work depends on grantees and partners across the Rio Grande Valley and the four counties with on-the-ground expertise, a deep understanding of the issues we care about, and strong ties with the communities in which we aim to make a difference.

Our Role 

In many cases, the private and public sectors, acting either separately or together, meet people’s needs. But there are gaps, spaces where some people don’t get what they need to live productive lives. We bridge the gaps by bringing together regional governments, businesses, philanthropies, and communities to transform lives.

Our Investments

As the project manager for regional joint ventures, RGV LEAD partners with entrepreneurs, companies, and other organizations to create incentives that harness the power of private and public enterprises to create change in the lives of Rio Grande Valley citizens.

The vision and strategy for institution-wide competency integration

The relentless
 

You don’t rest—your commitment to learning and improving powers you.

Engage directly with community leaders, students, and teachers to drive the exchange of ideas, confront challenges, and expand your sphere of influence.

Going beyond the skills gap

Career readiness is part of the institution’s strategic plan

The goal of institutional integration is for students to experience multiple “touchpoints” of career readiness—in  programs, services, and one-on-one conversations around competencies.

Changemakers
 

Individually good, collectively great

RGV LEAD is committed to shaping a future where changemakers join forces to amplify their strengths and drive their impact. By prioritizing cooperation and community over competition, scarcity, and gatekeeping, we are cultivating collective intelligence to fuel systemic change.

Career readiness
 

Every student deserves this type of classrooms

We support the development and use of high-quality instructional materials and invest in strong teacher preparation and support programs.

The collaboratory
 

Sharing tools and technologies can shorten the timeline to career readiness

We believe that all students can develop the knowledge, skills, and agency to thrive in their communities and in the workforce.
