About Cecy R.

Cecy is the founder of The School of Life, an organization that provides students with transformative and dynamic experiences that allow for character growth, personal exploration, and self-actualization.

Cecy is working to bring equity to education systems in the US beyond in-school curricula. The School of Life helps high school students to attain a broad understanding of their capabilities and potential, providing life experiences that they otherwise wouldn’t have access to, seminars on self-improvement, motivational speakers, and support for changemaking projects. Through her work, students grow a stronger connection to the real world and establish a stronger sense of self - including confidence, self-assuredness, and knowledge about themselves. Cecy has also pioneered work in teaching professional skills to students from disadvantaged communities in the US.
