About Legacy educators
Helping students and the village
that supports them.
We provide engaging programs and services for students, parents, teachers, school administrators, and community youth advisors to help them understand and overcome barriers to college enrollment and graduation. Our primary focus is on helping students embrace a mindset for success, identify and activate their strengths, develop resilience, and seek support systems that can help them navigate situations outside of their comfort zones.
Student Programs
Our programs lead you through meaningful reflection activities that help you imagine the possibilities for your life and develop a journey map based on your unique strengths, interests, personal goals, and career goals.
Parent Programs
Understanding that each child is unique, we lead you through a series of activities that help you understand your strengths and how to utilize these strengths to support your children throughout their educational journeys.
Educator and Administrator Programs
Our programs engage you in meaningful reflection activities about your own experiences, exposing you to best practices from the research, and guiding you through design labs to help you tailor the research to your own contexts.
Youth Advisor Programs
We engage youth advisors of community organizations and churches by helping you explore the roles you can play in helping to support students. We also provide workshops on effective program design, as well as workshops to engage students, parents, and community leaders.

Educational Insights from Legacy Educators
It takes a village to get a child from pre-school to college. Those of us who are part of someone’s village – whether as a parent, educator, youth advisor, or community leader - recognize the many challenges we face trying to create environments in which our children can thrive in their educational pursuits. Although many of us experience success along the way, we also have moments of frustration and disappointment and times when we feel overwhelmed and unprepared to handle the challenges our children face along their educational journeys. The benefit of being part of a village of caring individuals is that we all have strengths, which if shared with one another, can help us develop strategies for overcoming obstacles and challenges.

As the world mourns the tragic loss of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven other passengers of the fated helicopter that crashed near Calabasas, California on January 26, it occurs to me that we are so fortunate that part of Kobe’s legacy to us is his spirit for living that is best captured in the infamous Mamba Mentality. This mentality, though viewed through the lens of Kobe’s approach to basketball, has applications far beyond the sport.
