Some of the most important lessons in life are taught beyond the classroom. We are so proud to be work with our long time clients at exalt Youth; a nonprofit with a team of teachers dedicated to moving young people away from the justice system and back to education and employment.

exalt will be celebrating 20 years of innovating for impact at their Spring Gala on June 9. If you want to be a part of something that will make a difference to the younger generation, we suggest you explore the link below.

Join us for a festive evening June 11th, 2025! The Gala is exalt's largest annual fundraising event, and all proceeds will contribute directly to scaling exalt’s innovative approach to education and workforce development for court-involved youth.

Our friends and clients at the Metropolitan Opera are continuing to produce ground breaking productions, by announcing The Last Ship, a musical play written, composed and starring Sting.

We’re curious to see how this work from the former frontman for The Police will look on this legendary stage.

Our friends and clients at Bank Street College of Education are always on the front lines of progressive education, as they proved during their Bookfest 2025 earlier this month, featuring keynote speaker, author, Laurie Halsey Anderson. Anderson’s emphasis on books being a natural extension to storytelling, and the dangers of book banning, a subject that sadly must still be discussed today, was met with a standing ovation.

We stand with Bank Street College of Education remaining “stubbornly optimistic” and having a chance to make America “to be what we promised it to be.”

You can read Publisher Weekly’s synopsis here:

Capping off a day of energizing programming, Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award laureate and anti-censorship activist Laurie Halse Anderson delivered a powerful keynote, urging the children's book community to “keep sharing stories and books—and demanding that people have access to them.”

How can we keep our teeth so fresh and so clean…seaweed!
Wait, really?
Yes! Our clients at Ponce Health and Science University School of Dental Medicine are doing groundbreaking research in developing seaweed extracts into a new toothpaste.

Sargassum Seaweed, which is found in abundance around the coastlines of Puerto Rico, is being studied for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which may aid in the development of new oral hygiene products.

We are thrilled, but not surprised, that our friend and client, CEO of exalt youth, Gisele Castro, was recently featured in City and State New York, outlining the organization and what exactly motivates her.

“I believe in justice, in opportunity, in humanity,” Castro says in the article. “It's at the core of why I do what I do.”
