How It All Started

“We started around kitchen tables with one shared goal — to help our communities grow.”

Know to Grow began as a simple idea shared between educators, creatives, and community leaders who saw a gap — too many bright minds with limited access to the tools that could help them grow.

What began as small neighborhood circles and weekend workshops evolved into a citywide movement helping people turn ideas into action.

We didn’t just want to teach technology — we wanted to connect it to culture, creativity, and leadership. That’s how Know to Grow became a bridge between what people know and what they can build.

Our Roots & Approach

Growth begins with knowing — and at Know to Grow, knowledge doesn’t live in classrooms alone.

Our approach is hands-on, human-centered, and deeply rooted in community. We blend innovation with cultural wisdom, helping people build skills that serve both today’s economy and tomorrow’s possibilities.

Whether mentoring young adults, preserving local stories, or teaching digital tools, every program connects learning with purpose.

We don’t just teach skills — we grow ecosystems where creativity, culture, and opportunity thrive together.
