We are working with young people, educators, and schools to design engaging communities by...

Two children building a house made of jigsaw pieces.

creating purposeful, community spaces.

A group of child having a group hug.

advocating for social justice.

A hand making a scissor motion at decorative tape.

eliminating dehumanizing practices.

A child being hugged by "heart hands."

building spaces that value us as humans.

We must not turn our back at the future.

There are many serious threats to our world. We need an education system that humanizes school. Young people need to unlock their full potential, creating a just, equitable society.

I've read a lot about it being called a zero-sum game, right? This idea that we cannot both win. It's just not possible. I'm like, who said? There are all kinds of games and activities you play where you think someone has to lose, and then you realize, did you have to? The sharing of the orange. You all have seen these activities, but wow. I don't want to talk about where it came from, but I am curious. It's so ingrained in this country, and probably other countries, but I don't know.
