What We Do
We catalyze leadership to make educational equity a reality. We do this by recruiting, enlisting, developing, and mobilizing a diverse network of exceptional leaders who confront educational inequity by teaching for at least two years in high-needs schools and then work with unwavering commitment from every sector to end this injustice.
