I'm in the process of going through the construction of a 20,000 square foot $11.5 million dollar building dedicated to career and technical education for the students in the Philadelphia region.

Not only because of the capital, but because of the knowledge that comes by communing with the diverse group of people as opposed to everybody that thinks the exact same way that you might think.

going against the common core and focusing on what we know is important for kids really works, and having a network of people now that also agree was super huge.

The Yass experience has given us “permission” to do exactly that.

And through that, we were able to open up our second campus in the city of Wichita.

The Yass Prize has empowered our youth, families and community by bringing great visibility to our efforts.

Great education is a vital link for students to become successful citizens.

It's given us an opportunity to start critical discussions with our congregations, parents, community leaders and members, about the laws that govern education in Pennsylvania.
