“High -quality education is the most powerful equalizer we have. In communities facing economic challenges, it doesn’t just open doors-it breaks cycles.”
Marc Howland,
Founding Board Member
“"High-quality education is not a luxury — it is a lifeline, especially in communities facing economic challenges. When neighborhoods are starved of resources, when children grow up watching their parents struggle to make ends meet, when dreams are stifled by a lack of opportunity — education becomes the bridge. It becomes the pathway out of generational poverty and into the promise of generational wealth.”
Cliff Louis,
Board Member
“I’m ready for a change. I’m ready to see what Cleveland truly has to offer its children. I’m ready to see the magic of learning light a fire in our youth—and watch them grow up to change the world.”
Carrie Grace,
CEO/Founder
