As founder and Executive Director of Educate California, Moore has developed a non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that all California youth graduate prepared for college, careers and life after high school. Educate California is an effective solution to California's more than 600:1 student-to-counselor ratio! In partnership with non-profits, we serve 14 – 24-year-old low-income youth, their families and organizations that empower youth, by providing them with resources that historically would be provided by high school counselors.

Educate California serves low-to-moderate income communities through an in-kind donation of the LifePrep Academy: College, Career and Life Planning curriculum. For more than 20 years, Educate California has proven that implementing a curriculum like the LifePrep Academy increases achievement and lays the foundation for long term success for low-income and first-generation students.
