🚨 CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS: Pivot Event Season is Here! 🚨

We are entering one of the most important and exciting seasons at Pivot Institute as we prepare for:

✅ Student Testing Week
✅ Capstone Presentations
✅ Graduation Celebration 🎓

We’re looking for dependable, positive people who would like to help serve, support, encourage, and be part of something meaningful as students cross the finish line.

This is comeback season. This is milestone season. This is lives-changing direction season.

Interested? Inbox me. 📩

This is bigger than academics—we’re building family.

Because of how we’re building, our students don’t just graduate and walk away…
they graduate and lean in.

They stay connected.
They come back.
They pour into the next group.

This isn’t just a school.

It’s a community that moves forward together. 🥊

Today marked our first hybrid in-person day at Pivot Institute for c/o Spring 2026 —and it was powerful. Students locked in, completed diploma audits, and stepped further onto a real, tangible path to graduation.

June 7 is no longer “someday”… it’s in motion.

And for those who need more time? December is waiting—but make no mistake, momentum has begun.

This isn’t just school.
This is a comeback being documented in real time.

They counted them out.
They pivoted anyway.

At Pivot Institute, we don’t just teach.
We help people reclaim their narrative.

Tap in. 👇🏾

🎉 Happy Birthday, Dr. Brittany Black-Davis! 🎉

So grateful for your leadership, patience, and the way you make math make sense. Pivot Institute is better because of you. Wishing you a year full of joy, impact, and well-earned celebration! 🎂📐✨

🌱 Calling Volunteer Educators, Mentors & Tutors 🌱

As we prepare to support our next student cohort at Pivot Institute, I’m looking for a few dedicated volunteers who feel led to teach, mentor, or tutor.

If you have experience (or a heart) for:
• Academic support
• Mentorship & life coaching
• Small-group or one-on-one instruction

…your presence would make a real difference.

🗓 Volunteers will be most helpful beginning in March, as students move deeper into their coursework and goal-setting.

If you’re interested—or want to learn more—please comment below or send me a message.
Feel free to share this with someone who would be a great fit.

Thank you for believing in second chances and fresh starts. 💙

If you applied for our January start, this post is for you. Check your email ✨

If you applied for our January 12 start date, please be on the lookout for communication next week regarding your online student portal setup and next steps.

Please note: in-person attendance is required for students in the local cohort (Hybrid). We are happy to work with you to adjust scheduling around work or family obligations, but at this time there is no alternative to in-person participation.

We appreciate your patience as we are a few days behind due to an overwhelming response and strong interest. Thank you for bearing with us—we’re excited to get started.

I've just reached 100 followers! Thank you for continuing support. I could never have made it without each one of you. 🙏🤗🎉
