About Educate Tomorrow

Purpose:

Create an account and invite your coaches or mentors to encourage you to track, manage, and encourage you to reach your academic and life skills goals. Although this app was designed for young people and adults transitioning into adulthood and attaining life skills, it is an equally powerful tool for coaches and mentors to manage their own goals, creating a mutual platform for encouragement of mentoring for all ages. The Educate Tomorrow app engages both coaches and participants as they “game” their way through individual life and career goal plans.

Description of Educate Tomorrow – The App

One of the most challenging aspects of achieving well-being is understanding life goals, life skills assets, and areas that need encouragement. Well-being is different for each person, which makes it difficult to keep track of and deliver on your own life goals, let alone someone else’s. Educate Tomorrow provides a platform for users to keep track of goals, important relevant documents and share those with a network of coaches that the user invites to encourage them to achieve well-being, through a process of prioritization, completion, perseverance, and achievement of personal and life skills goals. The app allows the user to choose multiple coaches, whether it be educators, coaches, guardians, parents, or caseworkers, or friends. The network then work together as they “game” their way through each goal. Educate Tomorrow- The App is also a designated portal to record hours and activities so that all parties involved in the student’s success can coordinate time and resources in assisting their students.

About Educate Tomorrow

Dr. Ruby K. Payne, author of "A Framework for Understanding Poverty," states among the four reasons people leave poverty, most prominently “someone 'sponsors’ them (i.e., an educator, role model convinces [and encourages] them they could live differently)." A Chapin Hall study reinforced previous notions that foster care youth are increasingly worse off than their general population counterparts—particularly during troubled economic times—and that youth with no reliable adults to advise them or provide emotional support, fare significantly worse than those who have someone providing long-term support (Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago; Partners for Our Children at the University of Washington, 2010).

In an effort to end the cycle of delinquency, poverty, and dependence, Educate Tomorrow (ET) established a holistic innovative approach to direct students to Independence Through Education. Since 2003, through a simplistic and measurable approach, ET has been empowering youth and young adults through a life-long continuum of support in the form of educational life-coaching and advocacy.

ET historically has provided 1:1 educational mentors/life coaches, life skills and support to transitioning foster care, homeless, challenged or similarly disadvantaged youth and young adults, turning 18 and “aging out” of the system. Most have no reliable housing and often succumb to delinquent behavior as a means of survival. Therefore, to help end this cycle of poverty, & dependence, ET established a unique educational life-coaching program and community approach to move towards independence through education, and provide a web of support so that no youth ever “ages out” and this app captures every aspect of this program. ET’s approach is “Innovative” in its singular mandate—Educational & Life Coaching which has been implemented with more than a decade of practice and fascinating outcomes,

Educate Tomorrow proves to not only be a creative solution to a community problem but a model and resource for the nation.
