Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Human Restoration Project is organized and operated exclusively for educational purposes in accordance with section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. More specifically, Human Restoration Project is dedicated to informing and spreading progressive education, such as gradeless learning, equity-focused classrooms, and experiential education, through free educational programs, free resources, and free online materials for teachers, families, and students.

Human Restoration Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works to restore humanity to education through research, storytelling, and on-the-ground partnerships. Our work operates on three levels: (1) informing about the need for progressive, human-centered education; (2) guiding educators through free resources, professional development, and a self-paced learning platform; and (3) growing the movement through coalition building and grassroots advocacy. Key programs include Polaris Education, a student empathy interview platform serving 45+ districts and 8,500+ students; the Human-Centered Schools Network, integrating student voice and teacher leadership into school transformation; and the Third Coast Learning Collaborative, a $3.9M DOE EIR grant supporting school cohorts in Muskegon, MI. We also produce 245+ published articles, 150+ podcast episodes, and 40+ free resources for educators.

Additional Explanations

Part III, Line 2

Polaris Education is a technology platform that digitizes and scales our student empathy interview process structured one-on-one conversations designed to deeply understand students' lived experiences, perspectives, and needs within their school environment. It provides AI-powered question generation, secure student consent workflows, structured data collection, and administrator dashboards so districts can systematically center student voice in school design decisions.

Part III, Line 4D

Other revenue is generated through professional development workshops and coaching for educators, individual and organizational donations, and merchandise sales in partnership with RAYGUN. Expenses include technology infrastructure, and the development of two new platforms Floopedu.com, a feedback literacy tool that empowers students with agency over their learning through scaffolded peer review and self-assessment, and Polariseducation.ai, a student empathy interview platform that helps districts systematically center student voice in school design.
