Empowering social justice organizations to solve their most pressing problems so they can focus on their most important work — the communities they serve.

Leveraging decades of education and nonprofit leadership experience and lessons learned, we build capacity and enable leaders to hone their vision of excellence and bring it to life in order to lead organizations and schools that thrive.

We believe that an organization is best equipped for success when it has:

  • A clear vision and purpose, and an adaptive plan to achieve it

  • An effective leader who successfully builds a cohesive leadership team that engages in healthy conflict

  • A forward-looking and people-centered culture of which everyone feels authentically included

  • Clear organizational processes that include change management, feedback, and improvement
