Our History

COOP is a young organization that is proud of the legacy we have built since our founding in 2014.

COOP's history: Founder Kalani Leifer, a former history teacher, was inspired by the pioneer cohort at Kappa International HS. It fueled the vision for his peer-led, cohort-based change theory. He is pictured here with the first cohort.
