How do we work?

Technology & Innovation
Partnering with Local Communities

Utilizing and adapting technologies familiar to the developed world, we can provide teachers, parents, and students with products and services to improve learning and decision-making.

By nurturing relationships with likeminded organizations and private individuals, we're able to unlock new sources of capital and scale up our work far beyond what traditional funding can do alone, and with our volunteer's extraordinary support.

By creating a robust network of educators, innovators and collaborators, to create a sustainable change to reduce the education gap. Our team, shaped by decades of experience within Oregon, METRO Portland communities and with its Early Learning Educators, will affect change by bringing together real-world solutions, policy expertise, sustainable financing and collaborative partnerships.

Finance & Investing

To make a lasting impact, we know that we must actively engage and include the communities we are seeking to help. We are continually learning and growing in how we show up as an authentic, ethical partner.
