Bold Idea
Engage and empower America’s youth in a national movement for quality education.
Organization
Our Education is the voice of young people across the country who believe that all American children should have access to high quality education. It was created as a response to the sad reality that the most critical stakeholders in education—students themselves—do not have a voice in school reform efforts.

He now considers those summers to be the most important and formative experiences of his life.
