Michelle Goldschlag is the Co-founder and CEO of Cultured Kids (CK), a nonprofit organizationthat believes a student's sense of belonging is the primary catalyst for their success.

Michelle's entrepreneurial spirit led to two other "failed" businesses before starting CK. Both endeavors, along with her dual degrees in Art & Spanish, strengthened CK's foundation.

Aside from partnering with schools and community organizations in Northern VA and the Metro Boston area since their 2015 founding, Michelle has provided consulting services for international museums and global organizations like the Holistica Foundation in Brazil.

Michelle's personal mission is to use her creative gifts and empathy to maximize her impact.

Her lofty professional goals include:

• Changing the trajectory of education along with her community impact
• Growing a robust and unified donor community that is genuinely valued
• Developing the most sought after, kickass volunteer program

Personally, Michelle aspires to:

• Shed her fear of failure and stop caring what others think
• Learn to love public speaking (currently makes her sick)
• Become an author

To Michelle, Cultured Kids is a third child, constantly working its way through new stages of development, inciting sleepless nights, and in constant need of attention & nourishment.

While Michelle loves her job and struggles to draw the line between work and life, during her personal time she can be seen backpacking and hiking with her family all over the country,reading four or more books at a time, and dreaming with reckless abandon.

• Involve yourself in the greatest need for students.
• Programs that impact, solve problems and connect for the entire learning community.
• The value in CLOSING CIRCLES.
• The number one focus in education moving forward.
• Facing these fears for unlimited growth.
• Engage students' curiosity about themselves and the world with Cultured Kids
• Natural and unique ways to promote SEL and embrace cultures.

"Having two children of my own and not being able to afford to travel. I wanted to make sure they were exposed to other perspectives. They were not only seeing cultural diversity around them, but that they were actually learning about different cultures and about how to talk about differences."
