Founder - Andre Aina
I've always been passionate about education, but when I first started, my world was limited to just my school building. Then something shifted, I discovered the power of community and connecting beyond my own four walls.
Suddenly, my network expanded, bringing me incredible resources and partnerships that elevated my work and transformed the impact I could have on students.
I want every educator to have the same opportunity to spread their wings.
