Strong leadership, investment in employees, genuine desire to improve learning outcomes for young people. Strong commitment to project based learning and student-driven inquiry.
Cons
Still a young organization and thus, experiencing some of the growing experiences of a young org such as internal tools, defined processes, and efficiency.
Love the team I get to work with - really smart and warm people.
The work is innovative and keeps me excited.
The mission is a good match for what I care about - preparing young people for their future.
CEO and Board leadership is terrific.
Cons
As a small non-profit it seems that we always have much to do and not quite enough people to do the work. We are working on building a consultant base but this is always contingent on getting the right work to match the right consultant.
