Issue

Every year, over 1.2 million students drop out of high school in the United States alone. That’s one student every 26 seconds – or 7,000 each day.

Approach

No two schools- or students- are the same. We work directly with organizations to develop innovative learning solutions and inspiring spaces where students feel elevated and excited to learn. When students want to be in their classrooms and feel engaged, dropout rates decrease, students begin to thrive, and a lifelong trajectory of success starts to unfold.

Issue

74 percent of young people feel their schools fail to fully prepare them for the professional world.

Approach

We partner with like-minded organizations to bring students into real-world experiences. Studies prove that tangible, active approaches to learning can bring dramatic increases to student outcomes after high school.

Issue

Learning and development suffers when students fear for their safety and mental health.

Approach

We support the build-out of healthy recreational spaces in communities of need that ultimately benefit neighborhoods and create intentional opportunities for community and collaboration.
