About Us

BrighterStill is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free eLearning courses that cover basic life skills, soft skills, and leadership training for learners of all ages and education levels. BrighterStill courses are available to those transitioning from homelessness, individuals reentering society, youth, and any interested community members. Between 2024-2026, BrighterStill intends to activate its ''real estate arm'' by providing housing to youth aging out of foster care, which will allow them to receive structured life skills training, mentorship, social support, and affordable housing.
