    TalkingPoints (talkingpts.org) is an award-winning education technology non-profit on a mission to make it easy for any parent to be engaged in their children’s education especially in low-income, diverse communities. Parent engagement can drive student success twice as much as a family’s socioeconomic status, yet underserved, diverse families struggle to get involved. We help teachers and parents build relationships, shift mindsets, create communities and understand what effective parent engagement looks like so that students can be better supported to become part of an inclusive, diverse workforce in America and beyond.

    We’re building a multilingual family engagement platform with AI and human-powered two-way translation, and personalized coaching content. We’re on track to serving over 3 million students by 2020, and have been recognized by organizations such as MIT, Google.org, Comcast NBC Universal as innovative solutions to tackle the achievement gap.

    We're located in San Fracisco, conveniently next to the Civic Center station where you can get to by train, MUNI, or other public transit.
