Our vision

Our vision

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.
