WHO WE ARE

We are a non-profit focused on improving public education. We believe that bringing diverse groups together will help us build a stronger, united future for the Bakersfield community. We envision an education system in Kern County where young people do not need to leave the Valley to achieve their dreams. We hold a vision for transformational change in education that includes: 

​

• Every child is prepared to meet the technological demands of the 21st century.

• Youth who are connected and deeply engaged with the community, mentored, encouraged and feel loved.

• An educational landscape that offers families a variety of tuition free schools of choice. 

• Educational leaders who are inspired to lead with courage and conviction to achieve equity and dismantle systems that perpetuating achievement gaps. 

• Community members who are united in supporting our youth and work together to provide hope for the future of our community. 

• Diversity is embraced as our strength and diverse groups come together to advance the whole community, close gaps, and achieve equity in our community.
