OUR TEAM

We’re devoted to our Scholars’ success.

“Education is the most transformational experience and opportunity that I’ve had access to in my life. Having access and opportunities are game changing experiences, especially for Black youth. It diversifies their experiences. It expands their viewpoint of the world and opens up possibilities for them… It’s transformative.”

—Dr. Toinette Gunn
