A mentoring platform that helps educators scale their hearts
We provide a blend of software and people that works for you rather than against you.
Support every student individually, on-demand, and at scale
Our Student Winbox enables your team of expert educators to collaboratively contribute to every student’s success together.
The inbox updates in real time so every student gets the support they need, when they need it most.
Reinforce your professional staff with an army of relatable student-champions
The Agency isn’t just for your students.
Our agents work tirelessly to support you students directly while helping to alleviate pressure on your staff from less sensitive tasks such as tutoring, essay reviews and general student exploration.
Meanwhile, they keep your team updated with all their student updates so your team can step in and contribute, when it matters most.
Tune into the student voice
Rich insights from across your student body enable you to plug into the collective voice of your students.
Optimize for student engagement by learning, exploring, and investing in the interests, dreams, and future plans of your students.

Our Agents
Agents are digitally based near-peer mentors offering an array of comprehensive on-demand student support services designed to maximize student potential and increase their chances of achieving college, career, and life success. Agents are your staff’s global network of high-demand professionals, driven college students, and niche specialists who increase the horsepower (or should we say people power 😄) in your school district.
Agents represent over 150 universities and dozens of top companies across the country. Agents go through a strict and comprehensive selection and training process before accessing our platform to serve your students. They will effectively communicate with staff and guide students along the path to success.
Specialist
Specialists are agents who are equipped to support students in more challenging areas such as advanced academic subjects, foreign languages, and social services.
When students have access to the Agency they will work with their personal agent who facilitates their experience in the program and builds an authentic mentorship connection with your students. Specialists connect with students for tutoring sessions and specific challenges that take more intermediate expertise.
Industry Experts
Have you ever heard that saying, “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know”? Our industry experts allow your students to tap into our global network of in-demand professionals. Students will be able to connect with hundreds of professionals based on interests for mentorship, questions, and learning opportunities.

Student Engagement
We mobilize your district initiatives by meeting students where they are through our multi-channel messaging feature that allows your students to connect with agents via phone, tablet, or computer. Our proprietary system enables students to text, call, or email anytime to get on-demand support for academic and growth needs.
Each time a student engages on our platform, the system records and time stamps the interaction. We provide a safe place for students to receive help after school and data for educators to source insights. What makes our model unique is that agents take a proactive approach in making a connection with students rather than waiting for students to utilize our service.
Educators are also able to send personalized announcements to students and have agents reinforce those announcements to increase persistence.
DMO Framework
We can all agree students need more time to simply dream and be heard. Our Dream Mission and Objective Framework is our mental model for how we communicate with students on our platform to increase engagement. It is foundational to how we measure our impact and communicate that back to your staff to align students’ personal ambitions with their academic success.
Agents are able to reach students outside of school and champion students to advocate for themselves. Since they are not limited to the school day, agents connect with students on their schedules and navigate them through the DMO Framework, which generates the insights and updates for your daytime staff.
Student Winbox
The Student Winbox is a collaborative inbox that generates individual student support updates that your staff can use to activate outreach, share expertise, or gain insights.
Unlike your school inbox distracting you from doing the work you love to do, the Student Winbox allows you to impact more kids more often. You will receive wins, insights, and opportunities to curate conversations and deepen engagement with students to boost overall school performance.
Hall Monitor
The Hall Monitor is our safety alert system that tracks for inappropriate language or conversations happening on our platform. Student safety is priority number one, which is why we developed a sophisticated pipeline that immediately alerts our safety team and your counselors if any topics of concern get addressed on our platform. Here is a list of topics that are out of the scope of our work that we proactively monitor for:
- Depression
- Suicide
- Abuse
- Sex
- Drugs and Alcohol
- Violence
