Our priorities are driven by our mission to provide opportunities for learners of all ages, whether connected to formal schooling or not.

We do all we can to close the profound skills and achievement gap between the disadvantaged and advantaged. We know that extra hours of structured learning are a necessary condition for success.

In each of the initiatives we undertake, we:

• Engage talented local practitioners in planning, implementation and dissemination;
  
  
• Integrate extra learning with other program components and services;
  
  
• Collaborate with one or more intermediary partners who will support the model into the future;
  
  
• Align the model with established funding streams for sustainability and replication;
  
  
• Collect and analyze relevant data (such as learning gains, employment gains, college entry, positive behaviors, replication success);
  
  
• Produce public policy ideas that could advance successful strategies gleaned from initiatives.

We invite you to learn more about our past, present and future initiatives, and to contact us if you would like to join forces.
