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

It's actually mind blowing. I really see myself as an education entrepreneur, but this expanded me.

and I couldn't be more grateful for what it's done for us, and helping us serve more students and families.

When we originally applied, we simply provided supplemental support services to homeschooling families. Now, we are growing into an education network that provides community, coaching, and curriculum nationwide.

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

in innovators who are doing this type of transformational work, so that others can learn from it and replicate it, so that you can actually grow yourselves.

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.

It’s thanks to organizations like the Yass Prize that our children are going to have a better tomorrow.

The funding is not following children. We're trying to make better options for kids, for poor kids, middle class kids. Wealthy people have this choice, they opt out of their systems easily, why shouldn't all children have that choice?

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.
