Core Services

Supporting the adults and strengthening the systems that serve kids everyday.

Where rigorous research meets radical love.

We partner with educators and community leaders to bring the latest research and data to co-create practical, heartful solutions that strengthen youth-serving systems.

Whether launching a new initiative or strengthening an existing program, our clients use our services to strengthen, deepen, and expand their transformation efforts.

We know that lasting change doesn’t happen from a single training or initiative. That’s why our support spans four interconnected areas — designed to meet you where you are and help you build toward sustainable, meaningful impact.

How We Partner

We partner with youth-serving organizations to translate research and lived insight into practical solutions that strengthen systems and sustain the people within them.

Training & Workshops

Translating state-of-the-art educational science and research into practical daily classroom routines, tools, and practices.

See our work with Mountain View Whisman School District

Strategic Support

Providing 1:1 strategy and advising to co-create tailored solutions that fit your system's unique context.

See our work with Pajaro Valley Unified School District

Impact Storytelling

Translating complex data into compelling narrative reports, case studies, and community-facing impact stories.

Data & Impact

Building custom measurement systems and continuous improvement cycles to track program impact and fidelity.

    -Newcomer Program Lead, MPUSD

  • "I have enjoyed our trainings in that they have been open, engaging, welcoming. I've been to other trainings and where your just listening to the person talk and after a while you lose interest. The trainings being provided really make you feel like you're a part of what is going on and you can tell that our trainers really care about what's going on with our CS Specialists."

    -District Community Schools Lead, PVUSD

  • “I really wanted to put our entire agency into a framework that would make sense for everybody, and that would help us to articulate our impact in a higher level way. Heartwise was the only consultancy that really grasped that idea and was able to deliver."

    -Chief Program Officer, East Bay Agency for Children

  • “Partnering with Heartwise is really worth it. It’s worth the investment in this type of partnership. Because of the responsiveness and the relationship—Kendra and her staff are kind, collaborative, and genuinely want to get to know you. They don’t assume what your experience might be, and they’re really good at listening and then responding. That quality is sometimes hard to find in a consultant."
