Educate!’ 5 Cultural Tenets:
1. We Put Youth First – The youth we serve come first. Always.
In everything. That means we wake up thinking of ways we can serve youth even
better and get the highest impact out of every dollar that we spend. It means
Educate! doesn’t own a single vehicle, because we’d rather take the bus if it
means one more student can participate. It means making every decision like the
future depends on it — because if we get our way, it does.

2. We Are Always Learning – When you work at Educate!,
educating yourself is part of your job too. We encourage every employee to find
