Launched in 2022, New Profit’s Equitable Education Recovery Initiative (EERI) Catalyze cohort brought together 24 proximate leaders working to reimagine education in California, Colorado, and Tennessee. Now, they’re sharing their takeaways from the experience.
Amid the ongoing learning loss recovery from the pandemic and a growing “epidemic of loneliness,” these social entrepreneurs aimed to address deep educational inequities through services like tutoring, whole-child supports, and postsecondary advising.
New Profit’s Catalyze convening model fostered connection, shared learning, and collective purpose, allowing leaders from diverse geographies and backgrounds to support one another and recognize their work as part of a larger, unified movement for educational equity.
Read and watch their takeaways to see how these leaders are building community, amplifying collective healing in education.
The Kensington Corridor Trust (KCT), a New Profit Catalyze Economic Mobility alum, fosters the equitable economic revitalization of a commercial corridor and its surrounding neighborhood through local partnerships, strategic programming, and an innovative approach to moving real estate assets out of the speculative private market.
