Support New Leaders this Holiday Season

Our principals change the very culture of their schools—from the inside out. Their passion and skill ensures that each student reaches his or her fullest potential. Your generosity will help us continue to equip our leaders with the tools they need to go on with the work they’ve started, and to inspire more educators to take responsibility for student success.

Become a School Leader

Apply to the program

Our program provides intensive instruction, hands-on experience, and ongoing support to create a pathway for current and former educators to become outstanding principals who achieve dramatic results in urban public schools. We are looking for outstanding individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives who have an unyielding belief that all children can learn.
