SchoolTalk Employee Directory

SchoolTalk Inc operates as a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming educational experiences for marginalized youth by addressing systemic barriers to academic success and personal development. The organization recognizes that sustainable educational improvement requires comprehensive approaches that extend beyond traditional classroom ins... truction, focusing instead on building supportive ecosystems where all students can thrive. The organization implements two primary program frameworks that work in concert to create meaningful change. InclusiveDC serves youth with disabilities, providing targeted support in college and career readiness while ensuring these students develop the skills and confidence necessary for post-secondary success. Complementing this initiative, RestorativeDC introduces restorative justice practices within school communities, shifting away from punitive discipline models toward approaches that build accountability, repair harm, and strengthen relationships among students, staff, and families. SchoolTalk's methodology centers on youth leadership development and skill-building, recognizing that young people themselves are agents of change within their schools. Through mediation programs and peer-led initiatives, the organization equips students with tools to resolve conflicts constructively and contribute to creating more inclusive school environments.Read More
