Smith
President & owner - Education Reform Advocates, LLC
Focused on Dropout Prevention, Youth Development and Childhood Obesity
WHO I AM
I believe education is the core civil rights issue of our time. Whatever circumstances students face, we must empower them to be actively engaged in their education and earn their high school diploma, GED or trade certification.
All my clients are fighting the dropout crisis:
-
a literacy organization promoting grade-level reading by 3rd grade
-
schools building safety nets for students at risk of dropping out
-
school districts battling to re-engage 16-21 year-olds who have left the school system
My work also supports organizations connecting student performance to healthier lifestyles.
