5/5Resources at my fingertips!
The VELA app is incredibly easy to use! The design is clear and intuitive and only takes a few minutes to sign up. I love how simple it is to find all of the amazing resources and connect with founders in my area.

5/5VELA is lighting the way
VELA is the only org of its kind and this is the only app of its kind. Founders can find community and families can find options. Non-traditional learning isn’t on the fringe, it’s hear to stay!

This app is cool if you want to find out about what school founders are doing outside of public.
