Transforming Education for All

Every learner is unique and deserves an education that helps them identify their gifts and pursue their passions.

Stand Together Trust supports social entrepreneurs who see beyond the one-size-fits-all model and are creating individualized opportunities for learners. We help thousands of partners apply a “bottom-up” approach to problem solving and empower a diverse and robust network of changemakers to innovate and tackle tough challenges. The best solutions often come from the people closest to the problems.

We believe education should be a three-dimensional experience – one that enables students to identify their innate abilities, turn them into valued skills, and apply them in ways that contribute to society.
