Our Impact

Teachers say it works

I love how the [Ancestors] curriculum gives my students a sense of purpose and the ability to make global connections to their learning.

Students benefit

100%

Teachers strongly agree their students benefited from the Ancestors unKnown curriculum

Participants say “it’s really cool”

I think it's more important to find out where we came from, so we can tell our future children about our ancestors. Our next generation will know where they've come from, and pass it on. This experience is necessary and I hope the next class will benefit from this as well.
