We believe all young people should have access to rich, supportive, and challenging educational experiences that affirm who they are and prepare them to thrive in school, community, and the workforce.
Making that belief a reality lies in the power of our communities in New England. Together we can ensure that students are seen, understood, and their unique needs are met.
We invest in community-rooted solutions that advance our mission of championing efforts that prioritize community goals, address the long-standing barriers that prevent equal access to opportunities, redesign systems to ensure race and ethnicity don’t determine success, and advance excellent, student-centered public education for all New England youth.
At the core of our strategy is a commitment to continuous learning and evaluation and elevating the voices of those least well-served to ensure our investments make the greatest impact.
