Our initiative, called “C2C”, aims to revive the community of Mexico and ensure all residents have access to the opportunities and resources they need to thrive and succeed by supporting ongoing efforts to accelerate educational achievement and community development.
Our Mission
Transforming Mexico, Missouri.
About Us
C2C is an initiative started by Tyronn Lue, and is a partnership between the Tyronn Lue Fund and Partners for Rural Impact (PRI) to enhance the educational outcomes, economic empowerment, resilience and well-being of Mexico residents.
Lue has leveraged his partnership with PRI and relationship with community leaders to develop an initiative poised to create a long-term, transformative impact in his hometown of Mexico, Missouri.
C2C represents two goals: Lue's "Commitment to Community" and PRI’s "Cradle to Career" programming.
"Cradle to Career” programming is focused on improving K-12 educational outcomes, employing metrics such as kindergarten readiness, 3rd-grade reading, and 8th-grade math scores. This data-driven, equity-based approach allows for targeted, place-based solutions to address educational disparities.
The “Commitment to Community” programming addresses other needs, including improving transportation, supporting entrepreneurship, and fostering community revitalization. C2C uses a systems-based approach to alter policies, minds, and power while restoring unused buildings and employing additional efforts to improve the community.
