Naomi Runkel and Kate Ristow are two passionate educators committed to minimizing the equity gap, the difference in academic outcomes between advantaged and disadvantaged groups. In 2020, Kate and Naomi co-founded The Space Idaho, a nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the equity gap and creating opportunities in education by providing access to high-quality academic support and college counseling for students grade 6-12.
This organization is close to my heart as I have been a board member for over a year and currently serve as the Co-Board President. As a parent who has spent many hours and dollars helping my own child achieve academic equity, I believe so strongly in the work of this organization and the passion that Kate and Naomi have for helping all students find success.

Kate has a Master’s in writing and uses her skills in writing and storytelling to craft grant proposals.
