Programs offered by The Hunt Institute focus on informing and inspiring elected officials and key policymakers to make decisions that result in improving the lives of all children through quality education.
The Hunt Institute creates meaningful platforms to engage policymakers across our work. We are unapologetic about the importance of equity—in educational access, quality, and opportunity—and it is at the core of the work we do.
The Hunt Institute is building a bench of informed policymakers, nurturing political leadership, and successfully engaging state policymakers on the full continuum of education policy issues.
Equity is the lens through which we view all of our work, and we will be satisfied with nothing less than a quality education for every child, preparing them for citizenship, college, and the workforce. To that end, we are building on a solid nonpartisan foundation to reach more governors, legislators, and other education leaders.
The Hunt Institute has 20 years in the education policy space.
The Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellows network consists of over 100 senior state-level leaders from all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
We’ve scaled our State Legislators Retreat model across five states, engaging over 1,000 legislators.
We provide technical assistance to 27 Early Childhood State Teams.
