Our Story

Enriched was founded in New Orleans in 2012 to offer schools a reliable solution to teacher absences. Since then, the company has evolved into a national movement of educators, creatives, and community leaders united on a mission to reimagine substitute teaching.

Reaching More Schools. Empowering More Substitutes.

While our core focus is in the charter school sector, we can successfully partner with a variety of private and specialty schools as well. This creates many rewarding job opportunities within the communities we serve and ensures learning goes uninterrupted.
