In 2013, Educate Tomorrow began to shift its operational focus away from recruiting and training volunteer mentors and began to connect directly with colleges and universities to establish dedicated college coaching programs for students who qualified for tuition exemptions. In 2016 the Florida Department of Children and Families decided to fund a contract to establish a statewide network to promote best practices for postsecondary success for former foster youth in Florida.  Educate Tomorrow was awarded the contract in 2017 and has worked to grow the number of college coaching programs statewide.  To learn more go to https://www.positivepathwaysflorida.org

In 2015 Educate Tomorrow began a program called Global Field Academy to address the holistic needs of children and families.  Global Field Academy helps students and their families reach their maximum potential.  We provide enrichment experiences, all within a small, multi-age private home-school setting.  Our “field guides” provide opportunities for our students and their families to master their personalized academic and life goals.  Our care coordinators work to assist with economic stability, well-being and community resources.  In 2020 Virginia Emmons was selected by The Drexel Fund as a Founders Fellow to determine if there is a path towards turning the academic portion of the program into a financially sustainable school in fall of 2021 serving low-income students with publicly funded private school choice funding.  Stay tuned! https://globalfieldacademy.org

Educate Tomorrow founder Virginia Emmons and Educate Tomorrow CEO, Brett McNaught met in Niger, West Africa as US Peace Corps Volunteers.  Virginia served in Kabey Fo, Niger, a small village located southeast of Niamey in West Africa. The school is host to 6 grade levels, adult literacy classes and is used for village forums.  The Primary School was built in 2003 and has four classroom education centers. Educate Tomorrow pays for the students' meals, school supplies, transportation, boarding and other expenses. In addition, the organization has built and stocked a health care facility and trained health care workers to treat the people of the village.
