Our name, Mizzen (pronounced miz-uhn), symbolizes our commitment to working "at the middle," connecting educators with content, quality with equity, and passion with innovation.

“Mizzen is unique  ... There are amazing educational resources out there, to be sure, but this is the first one that’s entirely geared toward us.” — Aiko Sato, an out-of-school time leader who was part of a cohort of practitioners that pioneered Mizzen

"Mizzen’s got it all. It puts evidence-based resources in your back pocket.” — Daniel Hatcher, Alliance for a Healthier Generation

"When it comes to out of school time, being able to have well trusted, easy to use educational content that is turnkey gives educators the ability to have fun with their students, and ensure that the academics are strong and students are receiving what they need." — Kayla Ambesi, Schenectady City School District

"Having partners like Mizzen at the forefront not only helps us curate and cultivate resources, but champion the voices of those who are in need and most marginalized. — Troy Selvey, California AfterSchool Network
