Maya Evans, founder of Leverage Education

We work where education, workforce, and organizational performance intersect.

Leverage Education helps organizations clarify what they are trying to accomplish, understand the conditions surrounding the work, bring the right people into the process, and build a practical path forward.

Past Performance

Experience that moves from strategy to execution.

Leverage Education brings hands-on consulting experience across higher education, K-12, nonprofit, technology, and mission-driven organizations. Our work includes strategic planning, initiative design, workforce and pathway development, organizational change, professional learning, executive search, grant strategy, and implementation support.

Statewide Strategic Planning

Designed and facilitated a five-year strategic planning process for a statewide association representing multiple community colleges. The engagement included executive facilitation, constituent alignment, mission and vision development, shared priority setting, and authorship of the final plan.

University Strategy and Growth

Led a university-wide strategic planning process for an institution navigating enrollment and market shifts. The work clarified institutional priorities, established success measures, and translated constituent input into a five-year roadmap for growth and student success.

AI and Workforce Pathway Development

Developed a new AI-focused education initiative grounded in demographic, labor-market, and equity data. The work translated an early concept into a fundable model with partnerships, budget, performance measures, and an implementation path.

Built for the realities behind the plan.

Leverage Education combines strategy with practitioner judgment. We understand how decisions get made inside education and mission-driven organizations, how competing priorities shape implementation, and why a strong plan must work within real constraints. We bring rigor to the thinking, clarity to the writing, and practical structure to what happens next.

A specialized partner for education and workforce work.

Leverage Education is building its federal contracting practice to support agencies and prime contractors seeking specialized expertise in education, workforce development, technical assistance, facilitation, organizational improvement, research, and implementation. We are available for teaming and subcontracting conversations.
