How We Work

Community

Collaborating can ensure college and career readiness for every Nevada student.

We engage with families, educators, education leaders, and community stakeholders in service of more kids graduating from high school college and career ready. Change in education does not happen through one organization alone; rather, it is a collaborative effort bringing together different people, teams, and representatives from across our communities to bring forward ideas, solutions, and conversations that will impact every kid in Nevada.

An 18-month fellowship opportunity for those who aren’t in the education sector but want to enact change. Participants gain a understanding of systemic issues, confront bias and equity issues among our education system, and embark on a capstone project that addresses a topic in education important to them.
