Our Coaches are experienced and accomplished parents. Their children have successfully navigated the same school district as program students. They know how to help and have the capacity and commitment to give back.

The program provides always-on coaching, teaching and virtual parenting with a methodology that inculcates the SixSkills necessary to ensure that kids not only actually perform at their best but actually learn how they did it.
|
Leveraging State and Federal educational support grants with private donations provides the funding to internet-equip our students and compensate our Coaches - creating jobs for the people best-able to help.

Successful Kids become Successful Parents
|
For too many kids, their family or community circumstance simply doesn't provide a success-enabling environment. The most determined and able do succeed, but many strive and fall short, become cynical and succumb to the tyranny of low expectations, aging into their parenting years ill-equipped to foster their own families future success. The cycle repeats. All they need is the right help at the right time. They need to experience a supportive environment that provides the encouragement, guidance and assistance that effective parents and communities do – that their parents would provide if they could. |

A Scalable Solution
|
This is what we do: we deploy an always-on virtual family to create the social and educational infrastructure more affluent or fortunate kids grow-up with, so that program children succeed academically and grow into success-generating parents. Disadvantaged community children manifest graduation and drop-out rates 30% worse than their true peers. We know it’s not biology.
Our vision is to end this evil in a single generational cycle. You can help: your own success is the example they need; we just need to connect it to them. The solution is surprisingly simple and scalable because the internet allows us to make that connection. |
|
We do 2 things: we provide virtual tutoring and coaching to the kids and engage their parents and school in the process so that academic outcomes improve and the children experience how effective parenting operates in the family and family-to-school context.
Our Coaches are successful parents with the time, skills and life experiences to guide, challenge and nurture. Skills are delivered, lessons are learned, attitudes and expectations raised by osmosis. We build their success as children and their future success as parents, breaking the generational do-loop. This is the teaching people how to fish analogy applied to school-age development. |

Job Creation and
Talent Leverage |
There is a significant pool of well-educated parents with a passion for education and successful child development. Typically, they have been out of the workforce for some time raising their own families and now seek to leverage their expertise.
By employing these parents on a part-time basis as Coaches, we both create jobs and harness the most suitable resource available to help our students achieve their best. Coaches are giving-back in the best way they know how. |
