Strides in learning. Strides in life.

From education’s societal impact to the need for greater diversity in business, Stride has great influence on our communities. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is not a responsibility we take lightly. Indeed, it’s part of our organizational identity.

Stride (and our society) depends on diversity and inclusion

Our extensive efforts also include:

$20 million in scholarships

including $10M for students of color to attend college, Stride-powered private schools, and career bootcamps.

Systemic racism and black history courses

and modules will educate K–12 learners on racial inequity and help us collectively shape a better tomorrow.

Responsible law enforcement pathways

that promote economic inclusion in underserved areas and provide certification exam prep, work-based learning, internships, and partnerships through Stride Career Prep.

Growing diversity in our organization

to include people of all ethnicities and experiences — including partnerships with HBCUs and a focus on hiring underrepresented Black male teachers.

Community of belonging

that invites every team member to contribute to our culture of understanding, including employee resource groups that span various communities.
