Since 2014, Social Impact Partners (SIP) has worked to close Connecticut’s opportunity divide. We exist to expand pathways to living-wage jobs and economic mobility for all by collaborating with partners across the state to advance equitable education and workforce systems and practices, supporting initiatives that increase access to education, living-wage jobs, and financial security through systems-change efforts.

What began as support for individual initiatives has grown into a statewide intermediary role—bringing together employers, educators, government, and community partners to align efforts across early childhood, education, and workforce systems.

Over the years, SIP has helped advance landmark initiatives including Universal Pre-K, statewide job training programs, and expanded college access efforts, strengthening the pathways that connect learning to meaningful employment.

Our history of collaboration and cross-sector alignment has shaped who we are today: a connector and catalyst for systems-level change, focused on building stronger talent pipelines and clearer pathways to opportunity across Connecticut—and we are just getting started.
