Education
Every child, especially those most in need, should thrive academically, socially, and in the life they choose.
The Education Program’s work is about schools, classrooms and systems where thriving isn’t a privilege - it’s a given.
Schools that open doors. Because every student should leave high school with real choices - not just a diploma, but a future.
Classrooms that nurture greatness. Because students’ lives are changed when educators have the time, trust, and tools to do what they do best.
Systems that spread success. Because the system should create choices for students, not limit them.
A choice-filled life isn’t something a student should have to fight for. Thanks to the educators, students, parents, innovators and leaders working tirelessly to make this a reality.
Our Theory of Change
Our Vision
All children, especially those most in need, are thriving academically and socially and are supported in finding their unique path to the careers and lives they choose.
Our Why
Human Potential – We believe that every human has the capacity to thrive when given the opportunity and tools to do so. Helping to create that opportunity for all children is the focus of our work.
Our How
Education – A successful personal and professional life is impossible without a quality education that helps us shape our sense of self, fosters mental and social-emotional well-being, and imbues us with the academic and life skills we all need to thrive.
Every child, especially those most in need, should thrive academically, socially, and in the life they choose.
