Sponsor a Cohort.
One sponsor. Three children. Daily lessons with Kelly. One year of measured learning.
This program is not running yet. The steps below are how it will work. Join the waitlist and Nicolette will email you when the first cohorts form.
How it will work
- You commit to a 12-month sponsorship at the tier of your choice.
- Three children at a single school or community partner site begin daily Kelly learning sessions in their first language.
- Every week, Kelly composes a narrated learning letter — in your language — describing what each of the three children learned, in their own words.
- Every quarter, you receive an update on what each learner has learned.
- At month 12, each learner has 365 days of measured learning, and you have 52 weeks of relationship.

What is different
You never receive a recommendation. Kelly does not match, rank, or score. The trio is assigned by the local partner from the school's actual enrollment. The relationship unfolds in time, not in a feed.
The AI is the daily relationship, not the matching engine. Without Kelly, this 1:3 daily-relationship sponsorship model is structurally impossible because no human staffer can sustain 365 daily multilingual sessions per cohort at the price point that consumer giving permits. With Kelly, the marginal cost per additional cohort is the cost of a streaming subscription.
The outcome metric is Cohen's d on learning, not click-through on donations. Each cohort will get an effect-size measurement of the children's learning.
What is Cohen's d? It measures how much a group learned compared to a baseline. A score of 0.2 is a small effect, 0.5 is medium, and 0.8+ is large. Each sponsored cohort will receive a Cohen's d at month 12, so you can see how much learning your sponsorship produced.
How we measure
Our 14-day vocabulary retention pilot is enrolling participants right now. The same Cohen's d pipeline that measures the pilot will measure your sponsored cohort.
Results are shared with participants and published in summary form when the study is complete.
