Our Mission
Our mission is to become a leading partner for states in successfully implementing family-first policies through collaboration, technical assistance, and capacity building.
Our Vision
Our vision is that every program intended to give families freedom in education is easy to sign up for, easy to use, and meets the felt needs and desires of families.
How We Help

However, when states have access to the necessary tools and resources, they can effectively design and implement policies that improve educational opportunities for all kids.
