PAHARA

The Pahara Institute was founded by education innovator and entrepreneur Kim Smith in 2007. Having previously co-founded NewSchools Venture Fund and also serving as a founding team member of Teach For America, her involvement in both illustrated her passion for developing programs that attract bold and ambitious leaders to the education field - particularly those with entrepreneurial mindsets who wanted to make the system better for low-income students and students of color... Pahara provides transformational leadership development opportunities for leaders who are reimagining the public education system for all children... Taking the best of the Pahara-Aspen, Teacher Leader, and Pahara-NextGen Fellowships, Pahara began offering one Fellowship experience in 2021: The Pahara Fellowship.
