As the founder of this organization I have struggled over the past few weeks (but actually years) with how to articulate how I feel we have failed the young people in our lives.

In the past few weeks I've gained a bit of clarity. That it's OK to both believe in them with all I have... and yet acknowledge that we failed them. On issues ranging from climate change and school shootings to racism and social justice.

This article in yesterday's St. Louis Post comes close to my sentiments. I know our scholars and their friends and peers will make the most of this world we hand them because they, unlike us, have not yet given up on the idea that we can be better.

Black Lives Matter - today, tomorrow and always.

We will continue to work for a better future for our students and our children.

In the midst of all the chaos there are moments of joy and, in this case, immense pride.

Ava’s Grace has been nominated in the Dreamer category for LaunchCode’s Moonshot awards this year.

This recognition goes to the real DREAMERS - our scholars. 🙏🏼💙🎓🚀
