About Us
For the past 14+ years, we’ve helped educators grow their leadership so they can transform opportunity across schools and communities. Together, we’re making systemic change that lasts.
Potential, ignited.
Every young person deserves a fair chance to build the life they want. No matter who they are, where they come from, or how much money their family has, their education should prepare them for their next step and beyond.
The future is changing rapidly, and it also promises students new opportunities not seen by past generations. We exist to help school systems deliver on that promise.
