Who We Are

Reimagining What’s Possible

New Generation Equity® acknowledges the deep-rooted challenges and historical injustices that continue to shape our society. Unequal access to quality education, stable housing, green spaces, healthcare, and fair justice systems are just a few of the persistent disparities that exist— and these conditions continue to harm many of our most vulnerable youth.

Transformational change is possible through strong leadership, deep commitment, and bold action. We focus on raising awareness, shifting mindsets, and working together to make systems-level change sustainable in your school or organization. We partner with you to design opportunities that lead to meaningful transformation, exceptional outcomes for all students, and lasting impact.

We support educators in transforming their systems into places of possibility and belonging. This transformation happens through systems change: understanding how outcomes are created, strengthening the connections between people, structures, and processes, and redesigning them to expand access and opportunity for all. Meaningful change happens through intentional design, collaborative leadership, and a shared commitment to creating environments where every student can thrive.

“Transformational systems work challenges the brain. The brain wants to do what is comfortable, what it has always done. Our brain’s muscle memory is insidious. To make the changes our society needs, we must challenge our thinking and what we have always done.” - Dr. Jag
