Steve Good, the President and CEO of Five Keys Schools and Programs. From its start as a charter high school within a county jail, Steve has elevated Five Keys to a groundbreaking nonprofit, supporting over 25,000 at-risk and in-risk individuals across California. We delve into his journey of transforming Five Keys into a beacon of hope for those impacted by racism, poverty, trauma, and incarceration.
With Steve at the helm, Five Keys' growth has been unprecedented, culminating in numerous accolades, including the Hart Vision Charter School of the Year and the Innovations in American Government Award from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Governance.
Today, we explore the secrets behind this growth and Steve's unique approach to leadership. We also address a pressing issue - the lack of funding for correctional education programs, despite the astronomical amounts spent on incarceration. Steve shares his insights on this topic, as well as how Five Keys creates a successful learning environment for those who have struggled in traditional settings.
