Education Pioneers creates a pipeline of talent to organizations solving our nation’s most critical urban education challenges.

Scott Morgan’s Vision

Social entrepreneur, Scott Morgan, graduated from Stanford Law School with a desire to work in urban education, but not sure how to put his skills and training to best use in the field. He started Education Pioneers to provide a pathway for other skilled professionals to launch careers in education and create a pipeline of highly-skilled talent to organizations working to improve urban education.
