About Andrea Keith

I lead mission-driven education organizations through growth, transformation, and increased impact. As Executive Director of Let Grow, a national K-12 nonprofit restoring childhood independence, I\'ve scaled operations from 2 FTE and $500K in annual revenue (2021) to 8 FTE and $2M (2025)—quadrupling organizational capacity while building a fully remote team and expanding our reach to students across 638 schools nationwide and internationally.Leadership Rooted in Education: My commitment to K-12 education is both professional and personal—I began my career as a public school teacher and have dedicated my entire professional trajectory to empowering children and teens. Every organization I\'ve led has been in service of educational equity, youth development, and creating pathways for young people to thrive.My leadership approach combines entrepreneurial agility with disciplined execution and deep sector knowledge. I bring startup experience in building organizations from the ground up—establishing strategy, creating scalable systems, and leading through rapid growth and complexity. As Executive Director of a national education nonprofit, I\'ve led post-pandemic recovery and expansion, deepened board partnership, and professionalized operations while keeping students, families, and schools at the center of every decision.I excel at translating growth-stage leadership skills into the education nonprofit context: building revenue streams, developing high-performing remote teams, establishing governance structures, creating operational systems that support scale, and driving policy change. My background spanning classroom teaching, entrepreneurial ventures, and nonprofit executive leadership gives me unique perspective on what schools and young people need—and how to build organizations that deliver at national scale.
