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

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

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

The Yass Prize is almost like Burning Man for education reform.

It has helped me raise the ceiling on what’s possible.

including public recognition from our Governor and partnership conversations with other education innovators from around the country.

We don’t want you to rinse, wash, repeat. We want you to build and sustain.

from all different demographics, all different states, all different service provider types that you can learn from.

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.

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?

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.
