Earlier this month, our Executive Director, Beven Byrnes, was featured on More Good News Wednesday, a podcast hosted by renowned entrepreneur and thought leader David Meltzer.

She noted, “We think it really matters that our kids feel known, not just seen. When they feel like they belong, that’s when learning happens.”
