empowering students with purpose & strength

As an education nonprofit, we partner with K-12 schools and universities to provide expert coaching, tailored curriculum, and innovative Life Design frameworks. We help students and teams build essential skills, overcome challenges, and connect with the resources they need to thrive.

Why We Exist

We know developing students’ capacity to successfully navigate their emotions and setbacks leads to more successful life outcomes. Yet the holistic support students need to cultivate resilience, foster mental well-being, and live effectively is not sufficiently integrated into our education system.  

Human Better EDU addresses this critical gap - equipping students, and the ecosystems that support them, with the tools and resources needed to ensure their social, emotional, academic and physical well-being.

Students are not being prepared to Succeed in Life

our theory of change

We help students and their support systems develop the tools they need to take charge of their life, build healthy relationships, cultivate resilience, live with clear goals, and a roadmap to achieve them.

Human Better EDU Programs

Support students as they navigate secondary to post-secondary education and careers, providing a framework for navigating life’s transitions, articulating their boldest ambitions, and building a roadmap to translate their dreams into attainable futures.

Further develop the capacity of the ecosystems that support students - from educators and parents to university faculty and administrators.  Stronger communities and organizations lead to stronger supports for individuals.

Long-Term Outcomes

More individuals are placed on a path to realize their highest aspirations, living with purpose and personal power.
