What Our Partners and Network Are Saying

“Without EP, I would not have considered a career in K-12 or could have imagined my contributions in this field. The EP Fellowship broadened my career horizons indefinitely.”

“We really appreciate the level of talent that EP has placed in our organization. Our Fellow is terrific and is strengthening the capacity and quality of our team's work.”

“EP helped build and stretch me, and that stretch pushed me to where I am now in my career. It showed me what’s possible.”

“EP brought us the additional capacity we needed to tackle new challenges and address existing inequities.”

“I learned more about advancing educational equity during my Education Pioneers Fellowship than from two degrees at Ivy League universities.”

Support our work

Public education can and should be the great equalizer, but it isn’t currently. Your support addresses critical systemic failures in education.
