Description
Educational outcomes today indicate that students are not prepared for success in a global economy and participation in a robust democracy. This problem is even more pronounced among diverse student populations from low-income communities. There is an imperative to harness education innovation in service of developing new models, tools, and services for those students in particular, which will require transformational community-based leadership. Echoing Green is an organization that identifies, invests in, and forms a community of highly effective innovators to drive transformative positive social change across multiple issue areas. With Corporation support, Echoing Green will recruit a diverse talent pipeline of leaders capable of innovating in the K-12 education space.
