Help Your Community Stay Connected to Healthcare
Beginning in 2027, millions of Americans may experience changes to their Medicaid eligibility, enrollment, or healthcare coverage. Many individuals will not learn about these changes until they begin experiencing interruptions in care.

Voice Up believes that information changes lives when it reaches people early, clearly, and through organizations they already know and trust.

We are building a nationwide network of Community Health Navigator Consultants who will help educate communities, strengthen local partnerships, and connect individuals with trusted Medicaid resources before these changes affect their access to care.

Seven B's and No Campus
If the problem is that lived experience goes unnamed, and therefore unmonetized and undervalued, then the fix has to be an institution that names it constantly, and names it early ideally before a student ever reaches the point where a major has already narrowed the field. That is the design brief the School for Humans Flourishing was built against, and it shows in almost every structural choice the school has made. There is no campus. Delivery is entirely remote. Every participant is paired with a one-to-one mentor and a weekly cohort meeting, on what the school's own materials describe as "your time, your schedule." There are no lecture halls to fill and, not coincidentally, no lecture-hall economics to justify.
