In 2018, Kristen was on a mission to make her non-profit, Advising Generation Z raise over $350k in donations to obtain the seed funding to establish AdvisingGenz LLC as a subsidiary company to provide the technology component that her non-profit needed to become an alternative disciplinary resource for parents and practitioners looking to dismantle the ‘school-to-prison pipeline’ by utilizing AdvisingGenz as a restorative practice instead of overly harsh punishment for minor infractions.

​

With the support of  Research Your Health, Cox Media, Pyramid Technology Solutions (PTS), Baxter Clewis, and DailCare Teletherapy and the additional financial and intellectual support from 8 angel investors AdvisingGenz APP & LMS launched in March 2023, and plans to offer this important program nationally to parents, educators, judicial personnel, and mental health professionals with a more modern approach to redirecting misguided youth and young adults. 

​

September 2023 AdvisingGenz was selected as 1 of 5 social entrepreneurs to demo their companies' capabilities as marketing features at this year’s Clinton Global initiative. Over 250 entrepreneurs were invited globally who run startups that provide social solutions that could scale across the country! 

AdvisingGenz has made a commitment to expand its reach outside of Texas to train 7,000 youth practitioners in 2023 from education and criminal justice communities with alternative disciplinary resources to combat student discipline by connecting troubled youth to meaningful careers.
