Our Story
Branch Out Education was founded in April of 2016 by Shreya Parjan and Claire Wang. The organization was established in response to the discrepancies in egalitarian access to educational opportunities between cities, counties, and states nationwide.
We hope to expand our reach by connecting directly with educators on techniques to bridge innovation and education. The fundamental concept that Branch Out works towards is equality of educational opportunity, and we recognize that this is not just something achieved within the classroom and necessitates the collaboration of community members, policymakers, businesses, and community organizations.
