equipping our first responders to the future.
Edjacent is on a mission to help the learners and educators of life (of which we are all both) have more hopeful and sustainable futures. Edjacent positions itself to support the “first-responders of the future”, helping them develop and practice their skills that they may better take care of themselves, each other, and the places and spaces they find themselves in.
overview
Edjacent found itself at a crictical point of defining its identity and business model while aligning with its mission of empowering "first-responders of the future." The opportunity lay in becoming a premier provider of learning and microcredential opportunities to enhance the skills of these individuals in self-care, community support, and environmental stewardship. The primary goal was to refine the organization's focus, identify target customers, and establish a compelling narrative to attract potential funders, ultimately positioning Edjacent as a catalyst for positive change in shaping a more hopeful and sustainable future.

"If you don’t already know Destini Harrell, you should. She is a connector, a poet, a mirror and a light. She is like a magpie, collecting pieces of people and the world and putting them together in interesting and exciting ways. I’m excited to talk to her every time we get together because I just can’t wait to see what she’s doing next!"
