One of our core values at CZI is to stay close to the work. Across our focus areas, we know the people most affected by the issues should help drive the solutions. That’s why we work closely with educators, researchers, community members and more to make sure their voices are heard.

This month we published a new story in our Stay Close to the Work series that features a former teacher who saw the systemic challenges educators faced and wanted to do something about it. Explore how Julio Chow-Gamboa and his team partner with grantees focused on creating relationship-centered spaces, collaborative communities and peer mentorship.
