who was your who?

We connect, train, and coach leaders like YOU to build a village of support for the children in your community!

Champions are leaders who see that the resources and support kids need are all around them. Often, however, people are disconnected from one another and these resources never reach local schools, children, or their families. Champions connect the community to local schools to bridge this disconnect!

School Connect trains, coaches, and connects leaders like YOU to become school champions for the children in your community!

We help you connect to school leadership, combine resources, build strategic partnerships, and together change outcomes at local schools – ensuring that EVERY CHILD has the connections, resources, and support needed to reach their potential!

Want to make a difference? You might be just one connection away...

Just ask these 21 incredible girls! When Brooke Mandelbaum, a high schooler with a big heart, dreamed of giving back and helping girls feel beautiful, all she needed was a pathway.

That’s where School Connect came in—connecting Brooke with counselor Adriana Toles at Alhambra High School. 

Together, they made prom dreams come true for 21 young women from Alhambra and Cesar Chavez High Schools who had a chance to pick out their own dresses, received perfume and tickets, and created memories they’ll never forget.

This is the power of connection—reminding every student that they matter, inside and out. 

Here’s to sparking more joy, one connection at a time!
