The THREEFOLD CADRE of ENTREPRENEURS
An entrepreneur is by nature a person who sees a need and acts boldly and creatively, taking a risk to improve the world around them. In this sense, the entrepreneur is a Hero—and in the same sense, Threefold School is a heroic entrepreneurial effort.
If you believe families in Central Pennsylvania need the new, innovative education option that Threefold School represents, and if you understand that only a team of entrepreneurial heroes can achieve such a feat, then:
We invite you to join our Cadre: a dedicated group of heroic entrepreneurs who invest their passion, expertise, time, and money in our school’s learners.
We believe this Cadre is critical to our success because entrepreneurs have overcome imposing obstacles achieving their own success, and the leadership of Threefold School values entrepreneurs’ savvy and wisdom as we grow and scale this innovative model of education, first in Mechanicsburg, and then elsewhere in Central PA.
In addition, meeting accomplished entrepreneurs offers our students inspiration, guidance, and direction as they progress on their own Hero’s Journey and explore how they might impact the world themselves. Hearing entrepreneurs’ stories is critical to preparing our learners for the 21st century.
Members of the Threefold Cadre of Entrepreneurs are privileged to:
Share their entrepreneurial experiences with the students at Threefold School in occasional interactive conversations.
Attend regularly scheduled exhibitions of learning where students showcase their work to the public.
Receive public recognition of their Cadre membership on Threefold School’s website and at public events including our Acton Children’s Business Fair.
Advise the CEO and Board as needed on the growth and scaling of the model in Central Pennsylvania.
Make annual gifts to Threefold Education Association at the $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, or $50,000 level.
As you can see, while the generosity of the Threefold Cadre of Entrepreneurs is critical, it is far more than a giving club. As such, all members must be approved by our Board.
