Support New Leaders!

This holiday season, I’m celebrating Giving Tuesday, a national movement to encourage people to give back during the holidays. I hope you will join me by supporting New Leaders, a national nonprofit that identifies outstanding educators and develops them into transformational principals for the schools and students who need them most. I am a member of the local advisory board for the Bay Area program.

New Leader Principals are closing the achievement gap and preparing more students for success in college, career and citizenship. New Leaders already serve 250,000 children across the country, and they are growing to serve 500,000 children over the next three years. In the Bay Area, 60 outstanding school leaders work in the highest-need public schools in Oakland, Richmond, San Francisco, San Jose, and Hayward, impacting the learning of 24,000 students every year.

I’m asking you to support New Leaders because I believe that investing in education is the most important thing we can do for our children and our country–and making sure every public school has a great leader is the best way to make a difference. The incredible improvements New Leader Principals are having in their schools is truly inspiring. I deeply appreciate any contribution you can make to support New Leaders and help change the lives of traditionally underserved kids in the Bay Area.
