RESCHOOL Colorado is committed to creating an equitable education system where learning happens everywhere, ensuring all young people have access to diverse and meaningful learning opportunities. We understand that inequities exist in our educational system, both inside and outside of schools.
By working closely with families, educators, and communities, we strive to address these inequities and provide the resources necessary for every young person to thrive.
RESCHOOL started as an initiative of the Donnell-Kay Foundation in 2013 before becoming a nonprofit in 2018.
Vision
All young people have full access to communities, opportunities, and resources to live the lives they want to lead.
Mission
Create an equitable education system where learning that happens everywhere is fully accessible to all young people.
Values
At RESCHOOL, we know that to realize a world where all young people and families can thrive, we must align in intentional and equity-centered efforts that span a variety of stakeholders across all levels: individual, community, and systemic. To come closer to realizing our mission, we are in a constant process of deepening our understandings of, relationships with, and movement towards creating more belonging, equity, and justice in our work as we commit ourselves toward more equitable futures. We emphasize continuously learning and unlearning biases and processes that influence how we orient ourselves to the work of cultivating ecosystems that honor the dignities, histories, and current experiences of our constituents by first examining ourselves.
Our values are the compass that guides us toward defining how we work together as a team and how we work alongside our broader communities and stakeholders in service of expansive learning opportunities for all families and young people.
