OUR MISSION

Helping people attain economic independence through education and entrepreneurship, which Ewing Kauffman saw as two ends of a continuum.

SCHOOL

I think the greatest satisfaction I have had, personally, is helping others, doing something that either inspires them or aids them to develop themselves in their future lives so theyll not only be a better person but be a better productive citizen of the United States.
