PopSchools as a company is several years old and as a project is even older. Through all the iterations and pivots, one constant remains. We see people who often go unseen.

We believe in human potential. We exist to create opportunities and pathways to financial health and independence. This is as true now as it was three years ago. Options don't exist in healthcare or education until financial independence is secured.

PopSchools is a globally accessible platform that was created to support individuals and families in upward financial mobility and increased financial literacy through digital transformation and talent development for the future of work. We provide a virtual workspace, social and emotional support, and real connections to paying work.

The job we are doing is bigger than upskilling the workforce. We are taking a holistic approach to improve the lives of people worldwide. That means recognizing the whole person, meeting people where they are, and supporting them to get to where they could be. This is a monumental task and it can't be done with just a handful of people.

The idea of an open collective with full transparency is incredibly aligned with the PopSchools mission and goals. Many hands make light work. We have seen this in action with the people we raise money for using the #TechTwitterPayItForward hashtag on twitter. Over and over again, the tech community has proven that they are willing to contribute to uplift others who are putting in effort to improve their lives.
