The people behind the movement
Our work is about fueling a cultural shift and building a broader movement. Therefore, we think of our team as a constellation: a core group holding direction, surrounded by youth leaders, collaborators, and partners who shape the strategy and help it travel further and land deeper.
Core Team
At the center is a small, agile team that brings diverse expertise — from growing nationwide education organizations to shaping trust and safety strategies inside the world’s largest technology companies.
