OUR VISION
At the Leadership Initiative for Faith & Education (LIFE), we envision an education system that improves educational outcomes and reduces educational disparities by embracing partnerships between schools and faith organizations as well as supports the spiritual lives of students and educators.
Challenge 1
persistent education gap
Challenge 2
persistent income gap
Opportunity 1
350,000 faith communities
Opportunity 2
~50,000 schools
Imagine if...
every public school in the United States was partnered directly to a faith community to address specific academic needs such as literacy development, math fluency, or ensuring every single child is known by a caring adult. At LIFE, we are committed to identifying and elevating these partnerships where they exist and helping to cultivate them where they don’t.
LIFE’s Priorities:
Priority 1
Landscape the field
Priority 2
Connect and convene the field
Priority 3
Build new narratives
Priority 4
Develop future leaders
What Partners Are Saying
“Having worked with Dr. Scott and his students for several years now, I am deeply impressed by the vision of LIFE and the transformative impact it is having in cultivating thoughtful collaboration across educational and religious contexts. In a time of extreme polarization we need the pioneering efforts of LIFE to help mend our shared society.”
