Expert support to make every hour count.
Consulting, training, and onsite coaching from experienced practitioners. We work inside your program, with your staff and activities, so durable skills get built by design, not by chance.
Start where you are
Use your own curriculum, or adopt ours. Together, we make the durable skills already embedded in your programming more visible, teachable, repeatable, and measurable.

What’s working, and where to grow
Using our Future Readiness Framework, we review your program to understand what’s working well and where there’s room to improve.
You’ll leave with:
- A clear view of your program’s strengths
- An analysis of the durable skills already taught in your program
- A clear roadmap for high leverage changes that will make your program stronger
Make durable skill instruction intentional
We partner with organizations to refine existing programs, or stand up new ones, all centered on ensuring young people are future-ready.
We help you build a strong program, from vision to daily schedule. This includes:
- Vision and goals
- Schedules and staffing
- Curriculum selection
- Training plans
- Measurement approach
- Excellence frameworks
Training staff can use the next afternoon.
Our institutes are immersive, practical, and hands-on. We model lessons, plan alongside teams, and give OST educators the chance to practice before they lead young people. We believe the measure of a good training day is what staff do differently the next afternoon. Example Institutes include:
Future Readiness
Prepare facilitators to recognize, teach, reinforce, and measure durable skills across existing programming.
900 Hours Curriculum
Prepare facilitators to confidently deliver the 900 Hours curriculum.
Academic Integration
Prepare facilitators to integrate academics into their programming to ensure access to future-ready skills.
Improving practice, in real time.
Training starts the work. Coaching turns it into a consistent practice. Our coaches work alongside onsite — with your curriculum, your young people, and the realities of your schedule.
Our coaches are experienced OST practitioners who build trust quickly and help staff strengthen their practice through:
- Observations
- Real-time coaching
- Feedback and reflection
- Student work and data analysis
- Planning and follow-up
Along the way, we equip site leaders to observe and support the same practices, so the work continues after we’re gone.
Build the ecosystem, not just the program.
We work with districts, networks, funders, agencies, and intermediaries to design initiatives around their goals.
Support includes:
- Initiative design
- Shared frameworks and tools
- Training and implementation support
- Measurement
- Sustainable funding pathways
A core team of practitioners
who know the work
Every engagement is led by a core team of expert consultants, trainers, and coaches with deep experience in improving educator practice.
Engagements range from a single institute to a full year-round program. The exact scope of work is customized to meet the needs of each partner.
We work with community-based organizations, charter schools, districts, funders, and intermediaries. The entry point varies but the goal stays the same: make the hours count.
Let’s make the hours count.
One program. A district or network. A regional initiative. We’ll meet you where you are and grow together.
