About brightbeam
Brightbeam is a nonprofit network of education activists demanding a better education and a brighter future for every child.
It is the umbrella organization for the platform known as Education Post. Don’t worry, Education Post is not going anywhere. Today it’s one of many digital platforms including Citizen Education, Project Forever Free, and more than 20 other local and regional sites that spotlight education issues nationally.
When Chris Stewart joined as CEO in May of 2019, we had an opportunity to broaden and deepen the impact we sought to make when we first launched Education Post in 2014. We’ve been exploring new ways to make a difference in the lives of families and children, and while we’ve seen the futures of millions of children dimmed by our current education system, there is hope. We’ve seen what’s possible when communities come together around a shared purpose. And across all of brightbeam’s platforms and programs we will continue to amplify the voices of those who demand better — so that every child can get an education that leads to a brighter future.
Moving forward, we’ll shine a light on communities who challenge decision-makers to provide the learning opportunities all children need to thrive. We’ll help our diverse and growing network of voices tell powerful stories designed to unite and move their communities to action.
