Systems Change Starts in the Mind

Lumina Foundation's REACH Collaborative
Combining Emotional Urgency with Institutional Proof
REACH Collaborative, a Lumina Foundation initiative, was designed to create equitable credential pathways for Black, Latinx, and Indigenous adult learners. But scaling this work required shifting beliefs, activating leaders, and equipping institutions to act. Friday designed and executed a sequenced, multi-channel campaign strategy to move the field from introduction to implementation.
“Friday played an instrumental role in communicating the REACH Collaborative's initiatives across various states and institutions. Their strategic storytelling and active collaboration with partners led to impactful messaging and valuable tools that engaged adult learners of color.”

The sequenced campaign sparked attention and meaningful engagement across the higher education field. By sequencing urgency, storytelling, and practical guidance, we moved leaders from passive agreement to active consideration.
