About us
Core Mission
Yugen Education Foundation exists to bridge the often wide gap between educational
research and the everyday realities of public school classrooms. We work hand-in-hand with
teachers — especially in under-resourced communities — to co-create practical, soulful
solutions grounded in research and rooted in empathy. Whether it is designing SEL-centered
libraries, nurturing reflective teacher writing, or building learning tools that speak the
language of children, Yugen is committed to fostering environments where learning is a
shared journey — one that values curiosity, courage, and care as much as content.
